Homing Software

Summary of Our Direction Finder Homing Software

When an operator wants to “home” in on a source of interference or on another RF source, he can use our direction finder homing software. The homing software provides a bearing relative to the vehicle. Thus, the operator can instruct the driver to head in the direction of the signal. Thus, the signal strength display helps the operator determine the distance to the signal source. In addition, a rapid change in bearing with a strong signal indicates the vehicle drove past the transmitter.

MPT User Interface

The MPT User Interface is a Windows-based homing software suite that displays data coming from the Series 7000 direction finders. It also configures the Series 7000 direction finders.  It can be used in homing applications where only the line of bearing relative to the vehicle is required for direction finding.  The screen shot below shows the basic functions provided by the software.

Android

Doppler provides an Android app for smart phones and tablets available on the Google Play Store. We pair it with a wireless router to allow mobile operators to determine the bearing of a signal relative to the vehicle.  If used with one of the supported receivers it can also remotely tune the receiver and adjust the squelch and volume.  For more information, see our application note A Simple Homing Direction Finder Using a DDF7001 and an Android Device.
