New Features
since v. 4.0
For the first time, EZNEC
is able to
model an entire antenna system,
from the antenna
back to the
transmitter. With new L networks, transformers, and transmission line
loss, you can include tuners, phasing networks, impedance matching
networks, and realistic transmission lines in your model. New features
include:
-
New
modeling objects – L networks, transformers,
parallel
connected loads.
-
"Virtual
segments" – Makes it easy to interconnect
objects. It's
no longer necessary to create small wires.
-
Transmission line loss
– Changes realistically with frequency.
-
Geometry scaling
–
Easily scale any number of wires, optionally including diameter and
insulation thickness.
-
New 2D plot grid style
– Larger plots when a ground is present, and easier to
interpret
display.
EZNEC+
gives you all that, plus:
- Smith
chart display – Shows SWR sweep output on a
Smith chart.
- Additional
impedance displays – Shows SWR sweep output
as return
loss or reflection coefficient magnitude.
- Writes
IONCAP/VOACAP files – Writes type 13 input
files for
these popular propagation programs.
- Advanced
wire features – To make translated and/or
rotated copies
or reflections of a group of wires, or make a cylindrical structure.
- 10,000
frequency sweep steps – For detailed analysis
over a wide
bandwidth.
Additional New
Features since v. 3.0
-
Unlimited undo/redo –
Undo all changes you made since opening the
description.
-
Insulated wire – No more
guessing about its effect on wire length.
-
Geometry check –
Prevent illegal wire connections, crossings,
and overlaps.
-
Faster calculations – EZNEC v. 4.0
is 20% - 400% faster than v. 3.0.
-
Easily create and resize loops –
Makes
working with quads a snap.
-
Helix creation – For
modeling loading coils, too.
-
Stack, copy,move, rotate groups of wires
– Easily
make complex antennas.
-
Enhanced 2D plot features – Move 2D
cursor from trace to trace, directly read the
difference.
-
Full View Antenna mouse operation
– Rotate,
move, zoom wtih the mouse.
-
Improved printing – Access
advanced printer features. Selected printer no longer becomes system
default.
-
And more.
EZNEC+ gives
you all that, plus:
-
1500 segment capability
-
Circular polarization
-
Double precision NEC-2 calculating engine
-
Easy import of NEC-format wire coordinates
