SATSOFT is used for communication satellite antenna design, analysis, and
coverage planning. Quickly assess antenna coverage and gain, conduct antenna
trade studies, develop shaped beam and multibeam antenna designs, and
perform other satellite payload engineering tasks. SATSOFT was written for the
systems engineer as well as the antenna specialist. Its graphical user interface
was designed to enable users with even a basic knowledge of antennas to use
the software productively. Advanced tools will appeal to the antenna specialist. If
you need software to model satellite antennas, for GEO, LEO or MEO
constellations, SATSOFT is written for you.

Overview
SATSOFT provides essential tools for planning your next GEO, MEO, or LEO
satellite communications system. SATSOFT has three basic types of views:
Composite View has a hierarchical tree in its left pane showing all objects that
are currently modeled. The right pane is a map of the earth showing antenna
contours and polygons for all satellites.

Dual-Mode Optimizer
A dual-mode optimizer is available for multi-beam antenna designs which must
accommodate a non-contiguous output multiplexer. Beam excitations are
constrained to be orthogonal, which is necessary for lossless realization of
dual-mode feed networks.

Software Support
Many improvements to SATSOFT are being developed, so make sure to order
an annual support and upgrades (ASU) contract when you purchase the software.
This provides automatic software upgrades and technical support.

Computer Requirements
Windows XP, Vista, Win7 supported.
