Atlc is a finite difference programme that is used to calculate the
|
|
|
|
|
properties of a two-conductor electrical transmission line of
|
|
|
|
|
arbitrary cross section. It is used whenever there are no analytical

formula known, yet you still require an answer. It can calculate:

A bitmap file (usually with the extension .bmp or .BMP) of the cross

|
|
|
|
section of the transmission line is drawn in a graphics package such
|
|
|
|
|
as The Gimp and then analyzed using Atlc.
