Abstract :
This article describes the software WebPRAC (parabolic reflector analysis code for the web). The Internet version was written as a Java applet of PRAC for DOS [1] and PRAC for Windows [2]. PRAC is a user-friendly code designed for analyzing offset parabolic reflector antennas with high precision and accuracy. It has been extensively used over the past decade in teaching (currently, distributed with [3]), research, and industrial development. WebPRAC is intentionally designed for the Internet, running directly from within the Web browser on all usual operating systems (Windows, Linux, Macintosh, Solaris, etc.).
