Space & Signals Technologies offers you "large company" computing power with "small company" adaptability. We have the ability to define how performance should be modeled and to quickly write analytical software to test hypotheses and demonstrate answers. These prior computer simulations and numerical results suggest to our clients whether a particular design will work (or not). This prototyping ability, along with our close coordination with your staff, results in efficiencies in time and cost that are difficult to achieve in the larger organizations.

We perform mathematically intensive calculations and simulations of your systems at our fully-equipped office using extensive high-level software tools. Additional software facilitates effective design, code generation, documentation, graphics, presentation, and/or training. Specific software resident on site includes:

  • MATLAB Computation and Visualization Software
  • MATLAB Signal Processing Toolbox
  • MATLAB Higher Order Spectra Toolbox
  • MATLAB Spline Toolbox
  • MATLAB SIMULINK Toolbox
  • MATLAB Control Systems Toolbox
  • MATLAB DSP BLOCKSET Toolbox
  • MATLAB Symbolic Math Toolbox
  • MATLAB Wavelets Toolbox (with Data/Image Compression and GUI capability)
  • Netscape and Internet Explorer
  • Claris Works and DataViz
  • Claris FileMaker Pro
  • DeltaGraph Professional Charting, Graphics and Presentations
  • C/C++ and FORTRAN Compilers
  • Minitab Statistical
  • Mathcad Calculation, Presentation and CAD
  • KeyCAD Computer Aided Design
  • Full Microsoft and Corel Office Suites for Documentation, Spreadsheets & Presentations
Both Windows and Mac systems are on site, with ready access to VMS and UNIX systems and additional hardware and software through university affiliations. We are also able to travel to your site as needed for meetings, specialized hardware and/or software, and Compartmented Information Facilities.
D. Lee Fugal started Space & Signals Technologies in 1991. Prior to this, he worked for over 20 years as a Senior Systems Analyst, Senior Engineer/Scientist, and Senior Programmer/Analyst at ESL/TRW and at McDonnell-Douglas Astronautics. He was also a co-founder of a 25-person Scientific Software firm, ASTECH, Inc., that was later acquired by Nichols Research.

Mr. Fugal is proficient and experienced in a variety of specific technologies (see "Services Provided"). He stays current and maintains an in-depth comprehension of these specialties by attending seminars and conferences and by teaching advanced courses on a part-time/adjunct basis at major universities.

Since 1990, he has helped design curriculum, select texts, and teach upper-division and graduate courses in Digital Signal Processing and Satellite Technology at the University of Utah and at Weber State University. He was also responsible for Senior Projects in Ground Station Operations, performed Research Projects for W.S.U., and helped develop and prototype a television course in Conceptual Physics for a local college. He has given lectures and colloquiums in Signal Processing, Satellites, Telecommunications, and Mathematical Optimization for several universities and presented numerous design reviews.

Mr. Fugal is a Senior Member of IEEE, the current Chair of the Utah IEEE Consultants Network, the Tri-State Coordinator for IEEE University Student Activities, and a recipient of the Third Millennium engineering medal. His extensive network helps provide easy access to information and collaborative expertise from business, government, and academia.

He received his M.S. in Applied Physics from the University of Utah in 1986. In addition to IEEE, he is also a member of Old Crows and Mensa. His current clearances are at the TS/EBI/SBI/SI level.

If your project would benefit from a small team approach, we can quickly build a team of several experienced professionals bringing complimentary skills and specific expertise to bear on your complex challenges.

For both large and small projects and for any size team, clients benefit from our technical capabilities, applicable experience, and commitment to finding expedient solutions to your technical problems.
