Modeling an Inverted V Antenna for 40 Meters: Design Insights and Ground Effects
The Inverted V antenna is a cornerstone of HF communication, providing a space efficient and single mast supported alternative to the horizontal dipole. This guide examines the critical influence of the antenna height above ground on its radiation pattern. Furthermore, we demonstrate how to use AN-SOF to accurately model the feedpoint at the antenna apex, enabling precise VSWR and gain predictions, an advantage often absent in traditional simulation tools.
Introducing AN-SOF 10.5 – Smarter Tools, Faster Workflow, Greater Precision
We’re excited to announce the release of AN-SOF Antenna Simulator version 10.5, bringing a powerful set of new features and enhancements designed to improve your workflow and elevate your modeling precision.
Evaluating EMF Compliance - Part 2: Using Near-Field Calculations to Determine Exclusion Zones
In this article, we dive deep into near-field calculations to establish RF exclusion zones. By understanding near-field and far-field regions, occupational vs. public exposure, health impacts, and practical methods, we ensure compliance with EMF guidelines and safeguard human health.
