Transponder test & couplers
The IF6000 flight line test set is a compact, lightweight and weatherproof unit designed for testing transponder modes A/C/S, 1090 MHz ADS-B and 978 MHz UAT, TCAS I and II, and DME.
The application will control the IFR 6000 Transponder Test Set and GPSG-1000 Positional Simulator to simulate a flight path, allowing for a complete dynamic AC 20-165B performance verification, and identify any compliance failures prior to flying the aircraft. A detailed ADS-B Out compliance report can be generated showing pass/fail criteria.
The TC-201A TCAS / Transponder Directional Antenna Coupler builds on the VIAVI industry-leading expertise in avionics testing equipment. This newest coupler is used on directional TCAS and combined TCAS / Transponder antennas to shield the RF signal during testing of the TCAS or transponder system.
The ATC-5000NG is an RF signal generator/receiver for testing Mode A, C and S transponders. The ATC-5000NG was designed with modern software defined radio technology and is the replacement product for the commercial functionality of the SDX-2000, ATC-1400A and S-1403DL. The test set was designed for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing and return-to-service testing.
The RGS-2000NG TCAS Test Set is an RF signal generator/receiver for testing TCAS with an option available for testing transponder LRUs. The RGS-2000NG was designed with modern software-driven digital modulation technology and is the RGS-2000 replacement for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing and return-to-service testing.
The UC-584 Series Transponder Antenna Couplers are designed to solve the problem of reliable FAR Part 43 Appendix 'F' ERP (Effective Radiated Power) and transponder MTL (Minimum Trigger Level) testing, in the high multi-path ramp and hangar environments. The innovative design of these couplers include an integral positioning slot ensuring a high level of measurement repeatability is achieved, saving test time.
NAVigation / communication test
The IFR 4000 is a compact, lightweight and weatherproof unit designed for testing ILS, VOR, Marker Beacon and VHF/UHF communications avionics systems.
The ATB-7300NG Navigation Test Set is based on the new VIAVI AXIe Avionics Test Bench (ATB) platform with RF Signal Generation for VHF, ILS/LOC, ILS Glideslope, VOR, ADF, and Marker Beacon. (Display, Keyboard, Mouse Not Included)
The 8800SX Communications Service Monitor tests AM, FM, P25, DMR, and NXDN communications. With a 125 W receiver, 500 W in-line power meter, DMM, and 30 G shock-rated rugged design, it is a multi-purpose instrument for both the ramp and bench.
radio altimeter test
The ALT-8000 is the world's first and only RF-based portable radio altimeter flightline test set. It weighs approximately 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) with a large 12-inch color touch-screen, making it easy to use. The ALT-8000 is a universal test set for 4.3 GHz FMCW (frequency modulated continuous carrier wave) radio altimeters and pulse radio altimeters.
The ALT-8015 Radio Altimeter Flightline Test Set provides an easily configurable RF based altitude simulation to quickly test an installation, or direct connect to the Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) for additional troubleshooting capability. A large color touchscreen displays parametric measurements and allows for detailed profiles to be set up to emulate actual airborne conditions.
The ALT-9000 provides altitude simulations with true RF time delay and path loss models to test any format of radio altimeter system including Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), Combined Altitude Radar Altimeter (CARA), and Next Generation Variants.
GPS simuation test
The ALT-8000 is the world's first and only RF-based portable radio altimeter flightline test set. It weighs approximately 10 lbs. (4.5 kg) with a large 12-inch color touch-screen, making it easy to use. The ALT-8000 is a universal test set for 4.3 GHz FMCW (frequency modulated continuous carrier wave) radio altimeters and pulse radio altimeters.
The VIAVI GC-130 GPS Antenna Coupler provides >20 dB of antenna isolation, ensuring outside GPS signals are not seen by the aircraft’s GPS receiver when simulating a user defined GPS signal. The coupler mounts directly over the aircraft’s GPS antenna. The GC-130 is designed for use with the VIAVI GPSG-1000 GPS Simulator when the supplied antenna coupler is too small to accommodate the GPS antenna of the system under test.
IFF, MODE 5, TACAN TRANSPONDER / INTERROGATOR TEST
The IFF-45TS Transponder / Interrogator / TACAN Bench Test Set is an RF signal simulator that provides support for AIMS Mark XIIA transponders and interrogators. It operates under remote control from a computer or ATE system and provides versatile signal generation and measurement capability of Mark XIIA system signals in bench and over-the-air applications.
The APM-424 Test Set easily accommodates a variety of aircraft and ground/shipboard platforms to test MK XII/A transponder and interrogator performance including Mode S Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance. Configurations available for KIV77 and KIV78 support.
The F-16 IFF Antenna Coupler Kit provides isolated IFF Interrogator and Transponder testing to eliminate the need for DD-1494 frequency authorization. It solves the problem of over-the-air testing resulting in unreliable radiated power and transponder minimum trigger level testing in a high multi-path ramp and hangar environment.
fuel quantity test
The PSD90-1C Universal AC/DC Capacitance Test Set will test any AC or DC Capacitive Fuel, Water, LOX or Engine Oil Quantity System*. The PSD90-1C has features that allow the user to better troubleshoot and isolate fuel system problems.
NSN: 4920-01-510-5628 -- Designed for F-16 fleet (ITAR controlled)
NSN: 4920-01-528-2230 Designed for universal non-F16 fleet
The PSD60-2R Fuel Quantity Test Set is an accurate, stable unit designed to test AC capacitance type fuel quantity measurement systems and their line replaceable components. The PSD60-2R, along with aircraft-specific interface units or cables*, provides complete capability to test most aircraft with AC capacitance systems.
