YAGI(5)

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};
