NEC-Win Plus

An antenna computer-modeling program that is designed for a wide
range of users. With a few simple point and clicks, users will
immediately create complex structures for analysis.

The program includes the following features:

* Full 32 bit program
* Windows version of NEC2 - enhanced to handle 9,999 segments
* Easy Geometry entry (spreadsheet like interface)
* Full support of Variables and Equations
* Transmission Lines/ Networks
* Geometry checking
   - junctions
   - segments intersect at midpoint
   - segments cross at midpoint
   - segment within volume of another segment
   - segments parallel and overlapping
   - segments parallel and separated by less than sum of their radii
* Necvu v4.0 Antenna viewer
* View currents on wire (magnitude, phase, real and imaginary parts)
* VRML export (in Necvu) to view the antenna in full 3D as tubes
* 3D surface plot of total gain
* Theta/Phi or Elevation/Azimuth coordinate system
* Built in presets for Wire Diameter and Conductivity
* Choice of None, Real, Perfect, or Sommerfeld ground planes
  w/presets
* Translate, Rotate, or Scale each wire
* Rectangular plots for VSWR and Input Impedance
* Polar plots - total, horizonatal, and vertical gain
* Tabular Data (including full NEC2 output data)
* Auto-segment feature (straight line approximation)
* Stepped diameter correction
* Import Autocad (dxf) files
* Export VOACAP Type 14 Antenna Coverage files
* NEC2 core spools status information to the window
* Necvu 3D - view antenna as 3D tubes with backgrounds -
  export Povray files
* NEC-Win Synth Light (easily build radials, ground planes,
                       monopoles, dipoles, and dipole arrays)
* Average gain test to help determine model validity
* Ability to enter wire diameter in AWG values

Basic Antenna Modeling: A Hands on Tutorial

Basic Antenna Modeling introduces the reader to the art and craft of
good antenna modeling using NEC-2. The text is designed for use with
NECWin Plus, a user-friendly Windows 95 implementation of
NEC-2. However, the principles of antenna modeling are perfectly
general and apply to all versions of NEC-2. The tutorial contains 21
chapters, an appendix containing extensive information that is useful
to modelers, and an index. The text is designed for both individual
self-study or for classroom use.
