EME Calculator
Version 5.33
"EMECal.exe" This provides most all
possible variables to calculate the S+N/N ratio of two stations & include,
Station Power, Antennae, frequency from 50 MHz to 48 GHz. Receive noise
temperature & cascade noise figure, transmission loss, spill over, feed
through, ground temperature & perigee/apogee parameters are provided. Sun
noise respective to Solar Flux, moon noise and ground noise calculations
are also provided. Object size / apertures conversion factor is
included. Y factor measurements of noise sources (commensurate to date) &
the ability to vary present values is included to "reverse engineer" your
results. Sun noise is interpolated/extrapolated direct from the
Australian Ionospheric Service for real time accuracy. A commercial data
base of common yagi antennae is included. Linear to Circular Polarity
corrections have been added for cross polarisation situations. Deep Space
and Radio Astronomy frequencies are included. A free space calculator is
also provided.

Site & Radiation
Calculator Ver 6.41
"EMRCalc.exe" Based in Prague 2000 this
software addresses RF Radiation issues. It provides for the FCC, Council
of European Union (CEU) & Australian RF Safety Standards as well an
adjustable option to suit your own National Standards. Program covers 1.8
MHz to 48 GHz for both circular & rectangular aperatures. Selectable
common antenna types are provided as well as variable input.
Height/distance/on axis calculations are provided in a graphic format. A
further graphical display of near & far circular aperatures is included in
the package which may help you to convince your authorities that your
station is safe for your neighbours. An extensive Help file is integral to
the package.

Transmission Line
Calculator Ver 1.11
"ZCalc.exe" Born from the frustration of
building feeds with commercially available tube sizes!!! This program allows
you to select the size of the inner or outer conductor or required impedance
& calculate one of the parameters after selecting any of the other two.
Variable dielectric constant & metric/imperial conversion is included as
well as multiple wave length calculations. Circular - Circular, Square
-Circular, parallel lines and Centered Strip Line

Four Pole
Interdigital Filter Ver 1.65
"InterDigitalFilter.exe" The original IDF program I
wrote for DOS in 1985 has now been updated to run on Window operating
systems. Design criteria is based on an article by Ian White (G3SEK) in
Radio Communications February 1984. The program allows the design of a 4
pole interdigital filter from box depth, rod size, center frequency, 3dB
point & 40dB point. Most suitable for frequencies above 300 MHz as below
this the size becomes some what impractical. The program has a graphical
display of all dimensions. Construction hints are provided.

EME 2008 Ver
1.63 (04/05/2008)
"EME2008.exe" (Windows
version of VK3UMs famous DOS EME Planner and Autotrack … available at the
end of this listing)
