Abstract
This paper presents the design of a remote laboratory platform using web-based technologies for radio frequency (RF), microwave measurements and their analysis. The developed RF remote laboratory system is easy to operate using web-based graphical user interfaces in controlling the test equipments and displaying the test results. The various measurement and analysis engines for RF devices, circuits, and systems are developed using graphical language, LabView. The remote RF laboratory system with the developed user interfaces and engines is used in education and research on RF engineering. The developed system can increase efficiency of education and research on RF engineering cost-effectively by providing similar environment with an actual laboratory using web-based technologies.
