Introduction

I once used Double-Side Parallel Strip Lines (DSPSL) to feed an antenna. For that purpose, I wrote this numerical program (in C) to calculate the characteristic impedance of the basic mode of a DSPSL. The involved numerical method is the Boundary Element Method (BEM) / Method of Moment (MoM) with Finite Volume Element.

When the first prototype has been implemented in 2012, my old laptop did not profit from parallel computing, therefore, OpenMP or multi-thread is not supported.

Change Log

2016-08-17: Version 1.0 releases.

Port the code and build steps to the new compilers.
Port to x64.
Add License.

2012-05-06: Version 0.4 releases.

Fix buffer initialization bug.

2012-04-21: First working version.

Building

As it does not have any dependency except Win32APIs for the GUI, the build system consists of simple Makefiles and batch files.

Windows

The program can be built under GCC or Visual C++:

Run the build-msvc.bat under Visual Studio command line.
Run build-mingw.bat for a MingW build.

Linux / Unix

make to generate a command line version of this program.
Cross compiling using MingW is possible.
Linux native GUI can be built with libwine (usually can be found in wine-devel package).

Test

This small program does not include unit tests. However, integration tests will be added in the later versions.
