NAME

yagi - yagi binary output format

DESCRIPTION

This manual page describes the output format of the file created by the Yagi-Uda project's yagi program. The file is a binary file with a header of 100 bytes. The header consists of:
 offset(bytes)              information          data-type 
 
 0                          elements             int
 4                          driven               int
 8                          parasitic            int
 12                         min_frequency        double
 20                         max_frequency        double
 28                         design frequency     double
 36                         step_frequency       double
 44                         angular_step         double
 52                         0                    double
 92                         0                    double
 
 Following the header, there starts the coordinates(x,y,l) of each
 element and the voltage applied to each element. Then we write
 the element currents one after the other, at each frequency.
 Hence the element currents will be written 12,000 times with a
 3 element yagi analysed at 4,000 different frequencies. All complex
 data is stored in a structure of type fcomplex, defined as:
 
 struct fcomplex {double real, double imaginary};
 
 offset(bytes)              information          data-type

 100+(n-1)*24+8             y_n                  double
 100+(n-1)*24+16            l_n                  double
 --------------  Repeated for each element.

 100+24*elements+(n-1)*16   Voltage_n            fcomplex
 --------------  Repeated for each element n at each frequency step f.
