Input

Input file name is provided as a command line parameter. It contains frequency (or frequencies) in MHz, number of dipoles, geometry of dipoles, output specifications and comments. Comments start with #. Each dipole is specified by length, y-coordinate, z-coordinate, diameter, gap length, real and imaginary component of feeding voltage.

Example input file is:

frequency 100
dipoles 12
