Hello,

Does somebody have experience with ANSOF (www.antennasoftware.com.ar),
especially with planar circuits? *Is this a NEC based package?

They say you can use a flat strip as basic element (like in the
"planar" commercial SW packages), though they speak of wire segments
in most other documents on their site. *They also mention that you can
simulate wire segments in dielectric or magnetic media. This looks
nice for the relative low price.

Best regards,

Hello Wim...

I haven't use it, but I can steer you to where you can get your questions
answered.

Go towww.antennex.com, This site is devoted entirely to antennas and
related items. Join the antenna discussion list (no charge) and post your
question there.

If there is a group that is more aware of what is going on with antennas, I
haven't found it. Everything from PhD professors to ex and current
professional antenna designers to "just plain hams" (like me).

All the best

Ah, yes, the website that promoted the CFA while simultaneously warping
electromagnetic theory. *But then I guess I just "don't understand".
Thanks, but I'll stick with ARRL pubs and ref books by Kraus, Jasik,
Terman, King & Harrison, et al for trusted, practical info on antennas.

Hello John,

OT: There is info on EH, CFA and other fancy antennas on antennex, and
many other places. That doesn't make such places useless. I have dug
through many documents on antennex and there is lot's of useful info.

As with all "information", the difficulty is finding out whether the
"information" is useful for one's special situation. Some of my
favourite books: Kraus, Orfanidis, the services textbook of radio
volume 5, antenna engineering handbook (Johnson).
