Abstract

This paper discusses the implementation using the Java programming language of the computer code WebPRAC (Parabolic Reflector Analysis Code for the Web), introduced in (Rabelo et al., 2007), the internet version of PRAC for DOS (Terada and Stutzman, 1995) and PRAC for Windows (Terada, 2005). PRAC is a user-friendly code designed for analyzing offset parabolic reflector antennas with high precision and accuracy, and have been extensively used over the past decade in teaching (currently distributed with (Stutzman and Thiele, 1998)), 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...).
