hdlant
calculates dimensions for microwave ham radio antennas
/Main/Debian/powerpc/non-free/hamradio/This is the HDL_ANT program by Paul Wade, N1BWT. It may be used freely
by licensed amateur radio operators, others must pay a fee to the ARRL
Foundation for use of the program.
HDL_ANT does the calculations needed to successfully implement
several microwave antennas: horns, parabolic dishes, and
metal-plate lenses. It also does the calculations involved in
setting up an antenna range for antenna gain measurement. More
detailed explanations of the antennas and measurements may be
found in the series of QEX articles entitled 'Practical Microwave
Antennas,' in the September, October, and November 1994 issues.
An additional article, 'More on Parabolic Dish Antennas,' in the
December 1995 issue of QEX, gave the descriptions for Offset
dishes, Penny feeds, and the use of sun noise to measure antenna
performance and receiver noise figure.
These articles are reprinted in the ARRL publication "UHF/Microwave
Projects Manual, Volume 2", ISBN 0-87259-631-1. Use of the program
without the articles is problematic.
All dimensions are in millimeters, since one mm. is about the
accuracy required for antennas to work well at 10 GHz. However,
there is an option for dimensions in inches, for the metric-impaired.
