A FLOSS Tool for Antenna Radiation Patterns

Abstract: This paper briefly highlights the features of the software tool [RadPat4W], named after Radiation Patterns for Windows but also compatible with the [Wine] environment of Linux. The tool is a stand-alone part of a freeware suite that is based on an alternative exposition of fundamental Antenna Theory and is under active development for many years now. Nevertheless, [RadPat4W] source code has been now released as FLOSS Free Libre Open Source Software and thus it may be freely used, copied, modified or redistributed, individually or cooperatively, by the interested user to suit her/his personal needs for reliable antenna applications from the simplest to the more complex.
