OPTIMISE(5) File Formats Manual OPTIMISE(5) NAME
optimise - output data file formats DESCRIPTION
This manual page describes the output formats of the files created by the Yagi-Uda project's optimise program. The input files required for optimise are plain ASCII which can be generated by input or first. or may be generated manually with a text editor, if care is used. The format required by optimise is described in input(5). Optimise's output files, which have the .bes extension are the same format as the input files and are again obviously described by input(5). Example of a .up file. The .up file list the improvements made by optimise to an antenna design. Starting from the original design, the file is appended each time a new better design is found. Here is an example, where the final line is the performance of the 4 element beam with the .dat file shown earlier. 1 7.57dBi, 16.93dB F/B, Z=(31.77-56.34j) Ohms, SWR=3.95, SL=16.95 dB 84 7.58dBi, 16.93dB F/B, Z=(31.78-56.32j) Ohms, SWR=3.95, SL=16.95 dB 623 7.58dBi, 16.93dB F/B, Z=(31.78-56.28j) Ohms, SWR=3.95, SL=16.95 dB 89345 9.74dBi, 103.06dB F/B, Z=(37.55 +1.61j) Ohms, SWR=1.33, SL=17.78 dB What is what in the .up file The first column is an integer specifying the iteration. The other columns, going from left to right are gain(dBi), FB, input impedance, VSWR and level of the most significant sidelobe, in dB down on the peak gain.

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 for- mat 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

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). Version 1.16 24th October 2000 INPUT(1)
