ACSModel - AM Directional Antenna Moment Method Modeling Software
Au Contraire Software, Ltd.; John Furr, CPBE; Cris Alexander, CPBE, AMD, DRB
ACSModel is an AM directional antenna moment method modeling program based on the MININEC3 core. It was specifically created to allow engineers to take advantage of the FCC's moment-method performance verification rules contained in 47 C.F.R. §73.151(c). The program allows calibration to the measured impedance matrix, detuning of unused radiators and determination of the base - or loop-sampled operating parameters of AM arrays. The user specifies the frequency, defines the model "wires" (towers and top-loading) and enters the directional parameters. The program runs the unity drive solution, calculates the drive matrix and the user can then run the model with any of several outputs. More details about the software, including sample charts , are available. Item #SW-01 - CD softwareAu Contraire Software, Ltd. was founded by John Furr, CPBE, a well-known broadcast consulting engineer. With his partner Cris Alexander, CPBE, AMD, DRB, the company draws upon more than 60 years of experience in allocations work, system design, construction and field tuning of broadcast facilities.
