EADS Astrium selected Data Visualization Software from Advanced Visual Systems for Presentation of Antenna Measurement Data
Europe's leading space company measures radio transmissions between ground, air, space systems and networks
September 8, 2010 - EADS Astrium, Europe's leading space company, has deployed a software system for
measuring antenna radio frequencies that utilizes OpenViz data visualization software
(www.openviz.com)
from Advanced Visual Systems.
"Advanced developments in wireless communication technology require highly reliable radio transmission
between ground, air and space systems and networks. Antenna performance plays a critical role in these
systems and our AAMS technology relies on AVS data visualization software to help technicians properly
understand extremely complex measurements through an intuitive and flexible user interface," states
Astrium's manager for antenna measurement technology.
EADS Astrium's Advanced Antenna Measurement Software (AAMS), allows fully automated testing of
antenna systems installed in ground vehicles, aircraft, unmanned aerial vehicles, missiles and
satellites. OpenViz data visualization software enables AAMS test results to be presented using
highly interactive graphs that quickly expose irregularities and allow test personnel to fully
comprehend a broad range of sophisticated data inputs.
Measurements analyzed using AAMS include radio frequency pattern, gain, polarization, signal
purity and other metrics that contribute to quality communication system design, maintenance and security.
As result of benchmark tests, EADS Astrium selected OpenViz to visualize its sophisticated data
because the AVS product enabled the design of extremely customized graphics that could be deployed
to radio frequency engineers in a multi-function desktop application.
OpenViz is a comprehensive data visualization system for all Java and Microsoft platforms that
