NAME

   input - Yagi-Uda project antenna defining program

SYNOPSIS

   input [ - h ]

DESCRIPTION

   The  program input is one of a number of executable programs that forms
   part of a set of programs, collectively known as the Yagi-Uda project ,
   which were designed for analysis and optimisation of Yagi-Uda antennas.
   input is an interactive program, that asks  the  user  for  information
   about  a  Yagi  design,  such  as position of elements, spacing between
   elements, frequency span of interest and a filename to  save  the  data
   to.   input  then writes this information into an ASCII file, which can
   be read by yagi or optimise The file is ASCII and it's format is easily
   understood  by inspection (there are comments printed in it), so it can
   if necessary be edited manually.

   After running input and specifying a filename (for example 144e10)  you
   should  then  type  yagi  144e10  and then output 144e10 and optionally
   optimise 144e10

OPTIONS

   -h     Print a help message.

FILES

   filename         ASCII data file in which design is put.

PLATFORMS

   Both DOS and  Unix  versions  have  been  built.  The  DOS  version  as
   distributed requires a 386 PC with a 387 maths coprocessor.

AUTHORS

   Dr.  David  Kirkby  G8WRB (david.kirkby@onetel.net).  with help with in
   converting to DOS/PC from Dr. Joe Mack NA3T (mack@fcrfv2.ncifcrf.gov)

   output(5) and optimise(5).

   Bugs should be reported to
   david.kirkby@onetel.net.
   Bugs  tend  actually  to  be fixed if they can be isolated, so it is in
   your interest to report them in such a way  that  they  can  be  easily
   reproduced.

   If  a  mistake  is  made  during inputting of data (such as entering an
   incorrect length), it is not possible to go back and correct this.  You
   should  make  a  note of the error, and edit the ASCII text file with a
   text editor (vi, DOS edit etc).

Business Opportunity - Goldman Sachs, IBM and countless large corporations are leveraging open source to reduce costs, develop products and increase their bottom lines. Learn what these companies know about open source and how open source can give you the advantage.



Free Software


Free Software provides computer programs and capabilities at no cost but more importantly, it provides the freedom to run, edit, contribute to, and share the software. The importance of free software is a matter of access, not price. Software at no cost is a benefit but ownership rights to the software and source code is far more significant.

Free Office Software - The Libre Office suite provides top desktop productivity tools for free. This includes, a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation engine, drawing and flowcharting, database and math applications. Libre Office is available for Linux or Windows.



Free Books


The Free Books Library is a collection of thousands of the most popular public domain books in an online readable format. The collection includes great classical literature and more recent works where the U.S. copyright has expired. These books are yours to read and use without restrictions.

Source Code - Want to change a program or know how it works? Open Source provides the source code for its programs so that anyone can use, modify or learn how to write those programs themselves. Visit the GNU source code repositories to download the source.



Education


Study at Harvard, Stanford or MIT - Open edX provides free online courses from Harvard, MIT, Columbia, UC Berkeley and other top Universities. Hundreds of courses for almost all major subjects and course levels. Open edx also offers some paid courses and selected certifications.

Linux Manual Pages - A man or manual page is a form of software documentation found on Linux/Unix operating systems. Topics covered include computer programs (including library and system calls), formal standards and conventions, and even abstract concepts.
