create_bmp...ne_coupler(1)  General Commands Manual create_bmp...ne_coupler(1)

NAME
       create_bmp_for_stripline_coupler	 -  bitmap  generator for coupler with
       thin striplines between two infinitely wide groundplanes	(part of atlc)

SYNOPSIS
       create_bmp_for_stripline_coupler	[-C] [-b bitmapsize] [-v]  H  w	 s  Er
       outputfile

WARNING
       This  man  page is not a	complete set of	documentation -	the complexity
       of the atlc project makes man pages not an ideal	way  to	 document  it,
       although	 out  of completeness, man pages are produced.	The best docu-
       mentation that was current at the time the version was produced	should
       be found	on your	hard drive, usually at
       /usr/local/share/atlc/docs/html-docs/index.html
       although	 it  might  be elsewhere if your system	administrator chose to
       install the package elsewhere. Sometimes, errors	are corrected  in  the
       documentation  and  placed at http://atlc.sourceforge.net/ before a new
       release of atlc is released.  Please, if	you notice a problem with  the
       documentation - even spelling errors and	typos, please let me know.

DESCRIPTION
       create_bmp_for_stripline_coupler	 is  a pre-processor for atlc, the fi-
       nite difference program that is used to calculate the properties	 of  a
       two  and	 three	conductor  electrical  transmission lines of arbitrary
       cross section. The program create_bmp_for_stripline_coupler is used  as
       a  fast	way  of	generating bitmaps (there is no	need to	use a graphics
       program), for a pair of 1 pixel thick conductors	of width w,  spaced  a
       distance	 s apart, inside a pair	of groundplanes	of  separation H. This
       has an exact analytical answer, when the	inner is infinitely  thin  and
       the  overall  width W is	infinitely wide. This theoretical impedance is
       calculated and printed to stderr	if the -v  option  is  given  on  cre-
       ate_bmp_for_stripline_coupler's command line.

       -----------------------------------------------------  ^

       |		  Er				   |  |
       |						   |  |

       |						   |  |
       |						   |  |
       -----------------------------------------------------  v
       <-------------------------W------------------------->

       The  overall  width  W is calculated internally to be large enough that
       making it any larger will have negligible effect	on the	results.   The
       dielectric is assumed that of vacuum.

       The bitmaps produced by create_bmp_for_stripline_coupler	are 24-bit bit
       colour bitmaps, as are required by atlc.

OPTIONS
       -C
       Print the full copyright	information and	exit.

       -b bitmapsize
       is  used	 to  set  the size of the bitmap, and so the accuracy to which
       atlc is able to calculate the coupler's properties. The	default	 value
       for  'bitmapsize'  is  normally	18 although this can be	set at compile
       time. (see 'DEFAULT_COUPLER_BITMAP_SIZE'	in definitions.h).  The	 value
       can  be	set anywhere from 6 to 28. The size of bitmap produced will be
       between 2^(bitmapsize-1)	and 2^(bitmapsize+1), so if its	set to 28  the
       bitmap  could be	as big as 512 Mb, which	would take an eternity to com-
       pute.

       -v
       Print some extra	data to	stdout on the  theoretical  impedance  of  the
       structure.  This	 is  useful  to	compare	with the numerical result from
       atlc

EXAMPLES
       In the first example, a standard	coupler	is created, where the
