Abstract

A development of universal automated workplace is discussed to test microwave signal delay devices (SDD). The workplace allows us to accomplish tests of various electronic devices operating in microwave frequency range. A signal simulator and power control unit is suggested which is intended for attenuator integrated into the SDD. It is intended also to generate control signals to switch various channels of synthetic-aperture radar switching and to detect control signals. Experiments are controlled by means oj specially developed software packages named as Automated Workplace for SDD- Testing, which is based on the Wonderware System Platform and the InTouch SCADA-system.
