New HDSpectrum Software Released in TAP

Users of the Terrain Analysis Package who have licensed the Intermodulation Products module can now view their frequency spectrum in the graphical form similar to a spectrum analyzer display using the TAP HD Spectrum interface.

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 combinations 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 the user-specified bandwidth around a protected or received frequency. This newest capability also depicts all portions of the database 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 TAP system with a current software maintenance subscription and the Intermod module, please contact us.

   Greetings from SoftWright!

  • Import Intermod Frequency Data from Excel into TAP
  •    If you have been keeping your official records of transmitted and protected frequencies in an Excel spreadsheet, you will want to read our latest FAQ. You can now import data from Excel to perform intermod studies. You can then look at the entire frequency spectrum of transmitted and received frequencies as well as the potential intermodulation products directly in HD Spectrum. This new portion of the TAP Intermodultation Products (IM) module operates very much like a conventional spectrum analyzer.

  • Improve your Path Profile Resolution
  •    You can improve the resolution of your path profile printouts by following the procedures on this newly added FAQ. While this is not a new feature in the TAP software, our product support department has written this new detailed FAQ to explain the process in detail.

  • TAP Engineering Seminar - January 14-15, 2008
  •    The next TAP Engineering Seminar is scheduled for January 14-15, 2008 and the SoftWright Conference Center in our office. We have space available for approximately eight more persons at the October session. The date for the one that follows this spring is April 7-8, 2008.

    If you have not attended a TAP seminar in several years, you would benefit greatly with the interactive training approach that we have developed. You will leave here having actually run much of the TAP software and solved a number of design problems using the wide diversity of the TAP software tools.

  • How Are You Using TAP?
  •    We are looking for some of our TAP users to let us know how they are using their software in an unusual way. Perhaps you would be surprised to learn that some persons are doing weather radar system design and others doing interference protection for radio telescopes.

    If you are doing a particularly interesting application with any of the TAP software, we would welcome information on that and might be able to provide some publicity for your operation if you would like that. Send any of us an email with some of the details and we will get back to you.

    Email SoftWright about your use of TAP ...

  • Import Measured Drive-Test Data
  •    If you would like to import measured drive-test field strength data into TAP and plot it, look through this new FAQ to see how.

    Thanks to Survey Technologies, Inc., for their supplying of an actual set of measured drive-test results used in our example.
