Antenna software - RF Cafe Forums

RF Cafe Forums closed its virtual doors in late 2012 mainly due to other social media platforms dominating public commenting venues. RF Cafe Forums began sometime around August of 2003 and was quite well-attended for many years. By 2012, Facebook and Twitter were overwhelmingly dominating online personal interaction, and RF Cafe Forums activity dropped off precipitously. Regardless, there are still lots of great posts in the archive that ware worth looking at. Below are the old forum threads, including responses to the original posts. Here is the full original RF Cafe Forums on Archive.org

I am also very interested in purchasing a software (depending on quality of product and price) but I will need to obtain softcopy of the typographical maps for Fiji loaded into the database.

Alternatively, I need access to the services that can carry out the coverage plots of locations of our Ground Station UHF Receivers within the Fiji Islands. If anyone can provide these services then please advise me on peterod@afl.com.fj.

Thanks.

Hi,

personnaly, I have received an eval of MICROSTRIPES.

after a quick simulation, that's pretty fast and I am very satisfied with results.

I guess their TLM approach is relatively similar, but the software is more stable (does not share FDTD's dispersion error issue) and cell meshing/lumping can be more brutal without causing errors .

hope this helps
