R&S®RCMS II Remote Control & Monitoring System

For civil ATC and air defense applications

Applications

Scenario 1: Failure of a radio at an airport

One of the radios at an airport with separate transmitter and receiver locations has exhibited a fault. The corresponding standby radio was activated automatically and is now in operation. R&S®RCMS II registers the event and displays it on the R&S®RCMS II workstation in the management center. By selecting the radio with the fault, more detailed information about the fault is shown, such as temperature, voltage and VSWR. Upon command, R&S®RCMS II instructs the radios to carry out a built-in test, which will then provide additional information about the fault condition. This information is forwarded to the maintenance center where the appropriate repair measures are initiated.

Scenario 2: Country-wide ATC system with multilevel monitoring

Radios at various locations around the country are monitored by regional ATC centers throughout the day. At night, when traffic volumes are low, radio activities are monitored from a central location. R&S®RCMS II monitors all the radios at night from this central location as well.

Scenario 3: Changing radio parameters for an air defense application

A military operation requires changing the frequencies and modes of operations used for each mission. For a new mission, a predefined mission parameter set is selected. Upon command, R&S®RCMS II in the control center activates the mission parameter set (preset page) in the ground radios at the remote sites.
