RE: NEC-LIST: Printed circuit antenna modelling

Milan,

I have found NEC and its variants to be inadequate/inappropriate for
that kind of task. I have been using Ansoft's HFSS (www.ansoft.com)
for that sort of application, but it costs approximately 40,000 US
dollars. Unless you have a lot of time to get educated for this
project, you had better hire an expert. It is easy to get results,
but it takes a lot of experience to know when your results are
accurate. I don't think you can learn that in a few weeks, especially
without an antenna background.
