TC-201A TCAS/Transponder Antenna Coupler | Coupler Only
Product Description
The VIAVI TC-201 Antenna Coupler is used on TCAS and
combined TCAS and transponder directional antennas,
to shield the RF signal during testing of the TCAS or
transponder system. The TC-201, when used with the
AVX-10K, IFR6000, IFR6015 or APM-424(V)5, supports
maintenance testing in the airborne condition while
working to reduce interference with air traffic control
or nearby aircraft.
This TC-201 antenna coupler (EDMO# 22130799) only includes the TC-201A coupler.
Features
- Accommodates both phase and amplitude type antennas
- Reliable, FAR Part 43, Appendix F, ERP and MTL testing in high multi-path environments
