Abstract
A system and method for providing remote viewing of satellite transponder plots. The system and method piovides for remote viewing of transponder plots derived from transponders located on a satellite that communicate with ground terminals having an antenna. The system comprises an antenna switch for receiving transponder signals from the antenna. A spectrum analyzer is coupled to the antenna switch for generating transponder plots. An equipment control computer is coupled to the antenna switch and the spectrum analyzer that selectively routes signals from the antenna switch to the spectrum analyzer and routes transponder plots generated by the spectrum analyzer. A server computer is coupled to the equipment control computer that stores the transponder plots generated by the spectrum analyzer that are routed by the equipment control computer. One or more remotely located client computers are coupled to the server computer that each comprise a software program for remotely viewing the transponder plots stored on the server computer. In a exemplary method, transponder plots derived from data received by the antennas are selectively generated. The transponder plots are stored on the s…
