The Results Tab
In the AN-SOF main window there is a Results tab, Fig. 1, where a table with the main results for a transmitting antenna is shown: input impedance (Rin + jXin), VSWR, directivity, gain, efficiency, and the horizontal (H) and vertical (V) front-to-rear (F/R) and front-to-back (F/B) ratios.
This table will be automatically filled only when the structure has been excited by a discrete source (it will not be filled when the excitation is an incident wave).
Tabulated results persist until a new calculation is run, so we can refer to them at any time, even when we make changes to the project. To export these results to a CSV file, click the Export Results button on the toolbar.
The column headings Rin through F/B V are buttons you can press to display plots.
