. . . I tried to adjust the frequency downward, but the segment length limit is reached for the coil model. I redrew the coil with only six segments per turn, rather than eight. Now the frequency can be lowered to about 3.94 MHz without EZNEC guideline check warnings. . . . Of the Guideline Check warnings, the one about short segment length can most often be ignored without a problem. If in doubt and where practical, do a test case. For example, model the inductor with a wire through the middle directly connecting top and bottom and with a source in the middle. Note how the source reactance changes with frequency to see that it follows what it should theoretically do. Another test you should run when in doubt is the Average Gain test, described in the manual. Either is probably adequate to have confidence in the results. The Guideline Check warnings are based on NEC-2 recommendations. I've found that you can often make segments much shorter than the recommendations without causing a problem. Roy Lewallen, W7EL |
