Abstract :
The Numerical Electromagnetics Code-Method of Moments (NEC) is a code which has been globally accepted for several reasons, including: (1) continuity of support and personnel involved in its development; (2) systematic updating and extension of its capabilities; (3) extensive, user-oriented documentation; (4) ready availability; and (5) accessibility of its developers for user assistance in applications. The capabilities and features of NEC and MININEC, a smaller version of NEC which runs on a personal computer, are presented. Some typical results are included, along with comments about the future of computer-based electromagnetic modeling
