2nd Edition

By: Steve Nichols, G0KYA

For many years the only way for most radio amateurs to work out how well an antenna design would work was to build it and find out. Written by antenna guru Steve Nichols, G0KYA, An Introduction to Antenna Modelling uses computer-based antenna modelling to provide details of performance before you ever buy wires, tubes or even lift a saw.

Based on the free MMANA-GAL antenna modelling program, Steve shows you how to design and optimise a whole host of antennas. Starting with the very basics of how to input antennas designs into MMANA-GAL, he goes on to explain how to adapt designs to optimise them for the best performance. Steve even provides worked out examples for you to start with and perhaps adapt to your specific circumstances.

Building antennas can be hard work as you will need to know exactly what you want to build, source the appropriate copper wire or tubing, measure everything carefully and spend hours putting it all together. An Introduction to Antenna Modelling simply provides an easy way to ensure all of that hard work is not wasted and the design works as you intended.

An Introduction to Antenna Modelling is a step-by-step guide to getting your computer to analyse your design. This updated edition provides new material and designs to get you modelling a whole host of antennas including dipoles, the G5RV, the W3DZZ trapped dipole, verticals, off-centre-fed dipoles (OCFD), magnetic loop antennas and many more. This is a book designed for everyone interested in building antennas.
