HTZ continues to evolve, with new features and modifications designed to enhance the user experience, improve RF analysis capabilities, and support critical spectrum management tasks.
Feature Enhancements Overview
CALCULATIONS
TOOLS/HF propagation
A new “Move to my location” function now updates the station heading (azimuth) based on GPS or system location data.
INTERFACE
REPORT/Area file
Points below the polygon contours are now included in area/vector analysis, improving the precision of coverage reports.
TOOLS/Cartographic conversion
The integration of new GeoConv DLLs enhances map format compatibility and conversion.
RIGHT-CLICK ON MAP / Convert coordinates
The coordinate converter is now accessible directly via map right-click, mirroring the functionality found under “Tools”.
SHORT BUTTON / Export screen
A new AI model improves PNG tile and mask export predictions for visual outputs.
COVERAGE / Search sites
Enables polygon-based site search using “Info(1)” field logic for source and destination matching.
RECTANGLE & POLYGON TOOL / Search site
Updated with a new dialogue box to simplify site search and selection workflows.
Move to my location (Windows Service)
The priority logic has been updated to prefer GPS input; if unavailable, the system defaults to Windows location services.
SPECTRUM MANAGEMENT
RADAR STATION POPUP MENU / Coordination
Introduces PSR/SSR safeguarding zones in line with EUROCONTROL guidance for assessing wind turbine impacts on radar.
SPECTRUM / Constraints
Calculates areas where structures (e.g., wind turbines) meet clearance angle constraints around active stations.
STATION DATABASE / Export ICS-M
Allows station data export to ICS Manager for continuity between planning and licensing environments.
STATISTICS / COVERAGE MAP / Wind turbine exclusion area
Adds MW C/I interference mode to improve exclusion area assessments for wind farms.
TACTICAL RADIO COMMS (+INTERFACE)
C.E.W / JAMMING / STATIC / Jamming efficiency (J/N)
This feature introduces a new reporting function, facilitating tactical planning and analysis.
MAP LAYER UDATES – <F4> and <F8> Shortcuts
URLs for Maxar imagery have been refreshed; Bing Maps are no longer supported within Map Quad.
