Description

The Numerical Electromagnetics Code (NEC-2) is a comprehensive package for the analysis of the electromagnetic properties of structures. It can analyse radiating properties i.e. antenna gain, as well as scattering properties (radar cross section) of structures. NEC-2 was originally written in FORTRAN. NEC2++ is an extensive rewrite of NEC-2 in C++ by Tim Molteno. This work was helped tremendously by the work of N. Kyriazis who ported NEC-2 to C. The new portions of code are licensed under the GNU Public License (GPL).
