EADS Astrium, the world leader in satellite
systems design and manufacturing, has deployed a new software system
for measuring antenna radio frequencies that utilizes OpenViz data
visualization software from Advanced Visual Systems.
The new system, known as EADS Astrium
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.
According to EADS Astrium, "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."
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.
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 enables
solution development teams to create highly interactive visual
presentations from any type of data. Featuring over 20,000 different
types of technical and business charts and graphs, OpenViz is used by
leading corporations and software vendors to create specialized
applications that deliver rapid insight to all types of decision makers.
