NAME
     yagi - Yagi-Uda project antenna current calculator

SYNOPSIS
     yagi [ - dhps ] filename

DESCRIPTION
     The  program yagi 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.  yagi
     calculates the currents at the centre of each element at one or  more  fre-
     quencies, as specified in the input file.

AVAILABILITY
OPTIONS
     -d     Display element currents. When this option is used, a bar graph with
	    up	to 70 stars (*) is used to display the absolute magnitude of the
	    element currents. The element with the greatest element current  has
	    70 *'s, all others have a corresponding smaller number, depending on
	    the  their relative current. The element current, normallised to the
	    maximum, is also shown as a 4 digit floating point number.

     -h     Print a help message.

     -p     Print the Z matrix. The Z matrix is the  impedance	matrix,  showing
	    the  self  impedance  of the elements on the diagonal and the mutual
	    impedance off the diagonal.

     -s     Suppress all diagnostic output. By default, the  program  print  the
	    percentage of the job completed.

      filename
	    is	the  name  of the file containing the antenna description. It is
	    expected to be in a format created by either input or  first  -  two
	    other programs in the Yagi-Uda project.  This is an ASCII text file.
	    The  antenna  currents are written to a file filename.out which is a
	    binary file. It is not intended to be read by humans.

Limitations
     I'm not aware of any limitations, apart from that filenames, including full
     path, can't exceed 90 characters.

FILES
     filename.out	Binary data file

SEE ALSO
     first(1), input(1), output(1), optimise(1), first(5),  input(5),  output(5)
     and optimise(5).

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

BUGS
     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  the  input	file  is
     edited manually and done incorrectly, there can be unpredictable results.

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