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.
Available for Windows or Linux, the Signa graphical user interface (GUI) provides a complete framework with a logical and ordered workflow from target model import to analysis output and visualization. The software operates on detailed 3D CAD models of candidate targets. The surfaces of the 3D CAD models can be defined as a combination of metal, absorbers and layered material coatings. Visually rich data displays include overlays of the target CAD model so that results are easily interpreted in the context of the target orientation. Range profile plots (including angle vs. range) can be displayed in waterfall and donut plot formats, also with CAD model overlay for clarity. External RCS data can be imported for plotting, visualization and comparison to simulated results.
