We present synthetic X-ray and radio observations of 3-D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations of jets in a galaxy cluster environment. These calculations include passively advected relativistic electrons accelerated at shocks and subject to radiative and adiabatic losses. X-ray emission is modeled by thermal Bremsstrahlung and Inverse Compton, and radio emission is modeled by synchrotron emission. We test observational methods for measuring X-ray cavity enthalpy and age for different models of jet intermittency at various orientations with respect to the observer. We also compare the simulated magnetic field strengths and relativistic electron distributions with those of minimum energy calculations from synthetic radio observations. This work is supported by the NSF and by the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute.
