Applying Intranet Technologies in a Networked Antenna Laboratory

摘要

In a networked antenna measurement laboratory implementing Intranet technologies provides significant benefits. Some of the benefits include efficient data transfer, remote test setup, remote monitoring and control and ease of data analysis. This paper first summarizes some of the options available and considerations in incorporating an Intranet architecture in an antenna measurement laboratory. Relative merits and pitfalls of some of the solutions are discussed. Performance issues and tradeoffs are outlined. The David Florida Laboratory (DFL) RF Facility experience in implementing an Intranet based operation is presented.
