Easy integration into existing R&S®ARGUS
radiomonitoring systems
The R&S®EB500 is quick and easy to integrate into exist­
ing infrastructures – as a replacement for existing equip­
ment or to expand a station’s measurement capabilities.
Importantly, the receiver can operate not just in combina­
tion and coordination with other equipment such as direc­
tion finders and specialized analysis devices but also as
a hand­off receiver in a networked system. The ability to
operate in parallel is not confined to the devices within a
single radiomonitoring station: Multiple devices at sepa­
rate stations can process several measurement tasks
synchronously.
Remote operation made easy
Remote operability is a key requirement for radiomonitor­
ing systems, and here, too, R&S®ARGUS sets standards.
It has built­in sophisticated bandwidth management
(SBM) that tunes the transmission rate to suit the avail­
able network bandwidth. If necessary, the software can
reduce and compress data automatically. This ensures,
for example, that the receiver’s IF spectrum and audio
streams reach the central station in sufficiently high
quality, even with narrowband connections.
Nationwide radiomonitoring network at a glance –
R&S®ARGUS SIS
Another advanced feature of R&S®ARGUS is its station in­
formation system (SIS). The SIS shows the current status
of every radiomonitoring system location on an electronic
map. The information provided includes the current con­
nection status, the availability and utilization of measuring
equipment, and ambient parameters such as t emperature,
humidity and the power supply status in unattended
radiomonitoring stations.
The map display also supports remote control features.
When users click a symbol on the map, R&S®ARGUS
automatically connects to the receiver in question. The
R&S®EB500 in the remote station is then ready to accept
measurement tasks.
