Systems and methods for remote radio frequency device monitoring are provided. In one embodiment, an RF communication system comprises: an RF transceiver system; an RF device coupled to the RF transceiver system by a cable, wherein the RF transceiver system is configured transmit an RF signal to the RF device via the cable; a remote measurement transceiver in communication with a processor of the RF transceiver system; a remote measurement transponder coupled between the cable and the RF device; wherein the processor controls the remote measurement transceiver to transmit an interrogation signal to the remote measurement transponder; wherein the remote measurement transponder determines a first parameter of the at least one RF device based on the RF signal as detected at the RF device, and transmits a response signal to the remote measurement transceiver comprising measurement data; wherein the remote measurement transceiver outputs the measurement data to the processor.
