FieldFox’s Remote App
FieldFox’s remote control capability, Option 030, enables viewing and control of the instrument via the Remote Viewer iOS application. With a wireless LAN or cellular broadband data connection using an iOS device, the FieldFox analyzers can now be placed in areas where users do not wish to stay long due to extremely harsh or unsafe conditions. Additionally, if one technician or engineer has trouble making a measurement or determining the source of a problem, another can step in to remotely troubleshoot and solve the problem.

Radar Signature Analysis Software
Delcross Technologies announced the first commercial release of Signa, a software toolkit for advanced radar signature analysis. Signa delivers efficient electromagnetic (EM) simulation of complex radar cross sections (RCS) for targets that are tens to thousands of wavelengths in size. In addition to RCS, Signa generates range profiles and inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images of targets, useful for identification of significant target scattering features. The toolkit is available for Windows or Linux.

Microwave Heating Software
Field Precision has released an updated version of Aether, its 3D electromagnetics suite. The program can now export RF power-density profiles directly to the HeatWave program for thermal analysis. Aether is a unified finite-element package that handles all stages of solutions: mesh generation, field calculation and interactive analysis. The program has three operation modes that cover the full spectrum of applications: pulse mode (pulsed-power devices), res mode (resonant frequencies and Q factors of complex structures) and RF mode (frequency-domain simulations of microwave and RF devices).
