VALIDATION OF THE MININEC3 CODE FOR COMPLEX RADIATING STRUCTURES

Abstract

The ability of the MININEC3 code to accurately model complex radiating structures was previously unknown because computer compiler constraints limited the size of analyzable configuration. With the conversion of the code from BASIC to FORTRAN however it is now feasible to use it to simulate such structures. This paper presents the results of a validation exercise aimed at assessing the code's suitability for modelling configurations which involve hundreds of segments. [Vol. 9, No. 1 (1994), pp 58-66]
