Description: This report provides the documentation for a set of computer applications for the evaluation of      antenna parameters. The applications are written for the Mathcad personal computer software      for various antenna types listed in the thesis index. Antenna dimensions and, in some cases,      ground parameters are the only required inputs for each application. No new antenna      parameter equations were developed as a part of this research. The chapters of this thesis are      intended to provide Mathcad antenna application users with the background information      necessary to readily use and interpret the software for each antenna type. Appendices are      provided with examples of each antenna application. Each application has an introductory      paragraph and a table of required inputs. The Mathcad software provides various numerical      outputs and performance predictions. as well as a graphical representation of radiation      patterns in the far-field. Mathcad application results are consistent with the predictions of      applicable publications, as well as other antenna numerical analysis programs. Radiation      pattern, Radiated power, Directivity, Gain, Polarization, Efficiency, Effective height/area,      Bandwidth, Wavelength, Effective isotropic radiated power, Input impedance, Reflection      coefficient.
