Antenna Dimensions Calculator
I have been making antennas for a while now and I have realised that I have gotten into the bad habit of actually doing the same calculation to get the dimensions over and over again. Obviously I should know better by now. Anyway I decided to write up the calculations very quickly and then to make a quick animation of the results.

Animations created using p5.js
To do list
General
-
[ ] Add toggle to hide or show dimensions
-
[ ] Add current frequency indicator in top left corner of diagram
-
[ ] Create schematic export to pdf or some other format
-
[ ] Add inverse calculation, ie antenna frequency from dimensions
-
[ ] Add reflection from transmission line calculation
Bi-Quad
-
[ ] Add animation
-
[ ] Add Impedance and Gain
Dipole
- [x] Add dimensions to drawing
Folded Dipole
- [ ] Add Gain
Helical
-
[ ] Figure out why the first and last vertex of the helix are connected
-
[ ] Figure out how to pause animation when active tab is changed
-
[ ] Add HPBW (Half Power Beam Width) or transmission diagram
-
[ ] Draw reflector dish
-
[ ] Update animations to show dimensions of antenna
-
[ ] Create stop animation option that displays static image with dimensions
Turnstile
-
[ ] Add animation
-
[x] Add dimensions to drawing
Yagi-Uda
- [ ] Just do it (tick)
