The image below shows my preliminary results experimenting with DeepSeek-V3 to assist in designing a 3-element Yagi-Uda array for the 10 m band. I requested an output file in NEC format to import into AN-SOF Antenna Simulator. The image displays three iterations where I requested modifications to improve the Front-To-Back (F/B) ratio.

Key Takeaways So Far:

✅ It’s important to start with general requests about the antenna design before refining them with more specific requirements.

✅ In this example, I began with broad prompts:
📏 What are the recommended element lengths and spacings for a Yagi-Uda antenna?
📏 Could you recommend the element lengths and spacings for a 3-element Yagi-Uda antenna for the 10 m band?

✅ Finally, I prompted the AI to generate a complete NEC model 📝.

I’ll be sharing more details soon!
