Radio Altimeter Testers
Products
Unlike other testers, the ALT-8000 tests from the antenna to the indicator in the cockpit, allowing the operator to replicate in-flight conditions and isolate a bad component of the installed system.
-
Tests FMCW radio altimeters including CDF types
-
Tests pulse radio altimeters (non-pulse compression types)
-
Direct-connect to UUT T/R or to installed system via antenna couplers
-
Full RF loop test allows TX, RX, Antenna or Feeder faults to be identified
-
Multi-channel operation (via additional test sets)
-
Programmable multi-leg climb/descend profiles
-
Large touch-screen display with simple user interface
-
Remote control interface USB/LAN
-
Lightweight and compact about 10 lbs. (4.5 kg)
-
Battery 4 hours plus duration
The graphical user interface provides various screens for control of the test set and display of parametric measurements including: TX power, TX frequency (center), sweep rate, FM deviation, TX pulse width, and PRF (pulse systems)
