Antenna Length Calculator (dipole/monopole/whip) implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Input and validation requirements

Zero frequency produces undefined wavelength and antenna length, requiring rejection. Negative frequency also exposes an unresolved sign convention: literal arithmetic returns negative physical lengths, while a magnitude convention returns positive lengths.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
