Antenna modeling turorial?
 

Is there a good basic web tutorial I can print out or a book available
for one of the free antenna modeling programs? Preferably one that
matches a still-available version of the software.

Ken,

About the best place to start would be L.B. Cebik's web site
http://www.cebik.com/radio.html

Also the help manual which is included with EZNEC has excellent
information.

And if you are not opposed to spending some money the ARRL offers a
course on antenna modeling. I believe it is possible to purchase the
course text book without taking the course. That book was written by
LB also.

It depends on what characteristics of antennas you wish to examine by
modelling techniques.

Efficiency, bandwidth, tuner component values, effect of ground
electrodes, feedpoint impedances, feedline loss, radiation resistance,
etc. Or just radiation patterns and take-off angles which most people
already know about for simple antennas.

Here's a pretty good one:

I agree.

Thanks Arie,

I experienced a little difficulty with the links (my browser kept
trying to insert the "www." and, of course, that won't work.)

Here's what worked for me.
