Introducing PySNF

Hello all,

After a quick search of the world wide web, I discovered that a free and open source version of a spherical near-field to far-field transformation software package is nearly impossible to find. Once I discovered this, I decided to pursue this side-project. My goal is to create a module within Python which contains enough functionality to perform a spherical near-field to far-field transformation with probe correction. Since the module will work primarily with spherical near-field (SNF) data, and since the module will be created in Python, I decided to call this module PySNF.

Over the year, I will be posting updates on my progress, and I will also attempt to document anything that I found particularly useful or particularly tricky. These updates may be sporadic, but all of the updates and documentation can be found under the Blog and Wiki categories.

If you happen to stumble upon these posts, please let me know what features you would like to see in an open source spherical near-field module. I hope to have the first version of PySNF released before the end of August, 2014. So stay tuned!
