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  con-
     sists 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};
