WIPL

WIPL is a low-cost PC commercial software for the analysis of metallic structures. It allows the user to interactively define the geometry of any metallic structure as a combination of wires and plates, and then check this by using a 3-D drawing of the structure. WIPL's sophisticated analysis features include evaluations of the current distribution, radiation patterns and admittance parameters. It analyzes log periodic antennas, wire antennas with corner reflector, antennas mounted on metallic vehicles, wave guide horn antennas (including coaxial to wavelength transition), slot antennas and field coupling through apertures in metallic enclosures. WIPL also provides the user with a variety of list and graphic output capabilities, including 2-D and 3-D graphics. User specification of a large number of unknowns is not required to run the program. WIPL executes most computations in under 60 seconds, making the software ideal for CAD. The system requirements for WIPL are: IBM PC or compatible, 286 (386 or 486 recommended). 640 KB RAM, Microsoft Windows 3.1 or later. Graphics: Hercules, CGA, EGA (VGA recommended). DOS 3.3 or later.
