I would like to thank Mr. Makoto Mori for ANOTHER great HAM software - MMANA.  I hope many HAMs in the world enjoy this great software.

  MMANA-GAL is an antenna-analyzing tool based on the moment method, which was introduced in MININEC version 3.  The BASIC source code of the computation engine is published as a PDS in MININEC.  All the versions of the program as of  Version 2.03 and higher, use the MININEC-3 engine modified by Alexandre Schewelew, DL1PBD, and are written in Borland C++ Ver. 4.0.

 

MMANA-GAL has the following functions:

Table-based editor for the antenna design and definition

Graphical antenna viewer

Viewer for the horizontal and vertical beam pattern

Comparator for two or more computation results

Antenna element editor

Antenna wire editor

Tools for defining the combination of pipes with different diameters

Automatic antenna optimizer with respect to jX, SWR, Gain, F/B, Elevation, and Current

Sheet browser of the optimized results with manual tuning capability

Frequency characteristics chart maker

Data file generator

 

MMANA has the limitations in the parameters as follows:

Maximum number of pulses

8192 

Maximum number of wires 

512

Maximum number of sources

64

Maximum number of loads

100

  Please bear in mind that this document explains the usage of MMANA-GAL.  It is not a textbook of antenna modeling/analysis.  If you are familiar with the moment method, you can make full use of MMANA-GAL capabilities.
