Learn how to use 4NEC2 in the design and analysis of antenna systems. With a sample version and a paid (full) version of the book, the reader will start from downloading and installing 4NEC2, learning the 4NEC2 user interface, build a 20M dipole and analyze it at various heights above real ground then view the different antenna patterns. The sample version of the book will get anyone started with 4NEC2, or to learn 4NEC2 if you're already familiar with other antenna analysis software.
The sample version of the book is complete but the full version is in progress. I'm releasing the sample version first to gauge interest in this book while I continue working on chapter 4. As chapters or appendices are completed, they will be released as updates. All updates for the sample and full version of this book are FREE, and it's available in PDF, ePUB, and MOBI formats.
The full version of the book starts with chapter 4 that covers the different 4NEC2 editors. The Geometry Editor, due to it's complexities, warrants its own chapter. Other chapters will include using the optimizer and matching tools, using gnuplot for high resolution graphs, using ItsHF and VOACAP with the remaining chapters on design and analysis of various kinds of antennas such as verticals, multi-element, loops, satellite, and a grab bag of antennas the author finds interesting.
