Mmana-gal Antenna Files

If you open a .maa file in a text editor (like Notepad), you’ll see rows of data. While the GUI handles this for you, understanding the structure is helpful:

The software actually comes with a massive library built-in, but there are several external repositories worth checking out: The MMANA-GAL Library : Look in the mmana-gal antenna files

: Before you cut a single inch of expensive copper wire, you can run a simulation of a proven design to see how it performs over your specific ground conditions. Optimization If you open a

0.0, -5.1, 10.0... : Coordinates for (X1, Y1, Z1) and (X2, Y2, Z2) in meters. 0.001 : Wire radius in millimeters. -1 : Standard auto-segmentation. : Defines where the power enters the antenna. w1c : Source is at the c enter of w ire 1 . G/H/M/R/K : These are simulation environment settings. : Coordinates for (X1, Y1, Z1) and (X2, Y2, Z2) in meters

: Stores data for LCR (Inductor, Capacitor, Resistor) loads or terminations added to the antenna. 2. Standard File Library MMANA-GAL Basic

MMANA-GAL is a powerful, free antenna-analyzing tool for radio amateurs and RF enthusiasts that uses the to simulate wire antenna performance. Its native file format, .maa , stores the complete geometry, sources, and environment settings of an antenna model. Core Functionality & Tab Structure
