As the next step beyond the Basic Antenna Modeling Book, Intermediate Antenna Modeling introduces the reader to advanced antenna modeling use NEC-2 and NEC-4.
Modelers who use advanced modeling software have access to the full set of NEC commands. Hence, antenna modeling becomes a much different task relative to working with entry-level software. There is a need for basic guidance through the maze of geometry and control commands and Intermediate Antenna Modeling: A Hands-On Tutorial fulfills much of that need. With the exception of surface patch commands and a few variations on some control commands, the volume provides a step-by-step progression through the entire command structure for both NEC-2 and NEC-4. The 488 pages are divided into 3 parts, each containing 7 chapters. An appendix contains useful data for modelers.
Like the entry-level volume by the same author, Basic Antenna Modeling: A Hands-On Tutorial, each chapter makes use of many exercise models to permit the reader to correlate the text directly with antenna modeling practice in NEC-2 and NEC-4. Over 630 models are arranged in 21 series, with each series keyed to specific topics within individual chapters. A CDROM accompanies the book and contains all exercise models. Intermediate Antenna Modeling is useful both as a self-study course and as a classroom text. The large-ring binding allows the reader to open the book flat at the computer workstation while working with both the text and the exercise models. The large format (8.5" x 11") and over 300 illustrations promote easy reading.
