# antennavis(1)

Antenna Radiation Pattern Visualization Software

## NAME

antennavis - Antenna Radiation Pattern Visualization Software

## SYNOPSIS

**antennavis**

## DESCRIPTION

**Antennavis** lets the user fly around and view antenna systems and their patterns from any angle in 3D. There are several means of  viewing the patterns, through rendered, variable-size cubes, smooth  shaded polygonal surface approximations, and color-mapped spheres.

**Antennavis** works together with nec2. Nec2 simulates the electromagnetic response of antennas and metal structures and can be called from within antennavis. **Antennavis** then uses the **TkAnt** OpenGL widget to render the nec output.

## AUTHORS

The program was originally developed by Kenneth Harker WM5R and Adrian Agogino. **It is currently maintained by Nanakos Chrysostomos, nanakos@wired-net.gr.**
