In the past intermod software was often accused of generating reams of paper output that no one really examined. SoftWright has been developing and enhancing their intermod software for over 20 years to make its output more meaningful than most other intermodulation product software tools.

While it is easy to mathematically generate lists of potential combinations of transmitted frequencies, SoftWright has developed a tool that will allow the engineer to examine the resultant potential hit frequencies in many ways. With HDSpectrum you can analyze potential intermodulation products as well as the participating frequencies which can create the problems.  It can properly consider broadcast, simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex facilities. The software can also take into account the deviation of the transmitted frequencies as well as user-specified bandwidth around a protected or received frequency.  This provides a considerably more conservative protection than simply considering only the direct frequencies causing the destructive intermodulation products. This newest capability also depicts all portions of the calculated intermodulation results in the format of the video display of a spectrum analyzer.

This new feature is provided to all our customers at no additional charge, if you have the TAP Intermod module as a part of your TAP system and a current maintenance subscription. If you would like to add this capability to your rf system design tools, please contact SoftWright.
