ALT-9000 Flight Line Radio Altimeter Test Set
Product Description
The Viavi ALT-9000 radio altimeter test set is a portable flight line test solution that uses fiber optic delay to allow it to work with all types of radio altimeters. The ALT-9000 will test the complete radio altimeter system — allow technicians to isolate problems to the antenna, coax, LRU or or indicator. This eliminates unnecessary LRU swaps or other system component replacements.
Features
- Simulate static or dynamic altitudes to support testing of TCAS and GPWS/TAWS aircraft systems
- Test RX sensitivity of the radio altimeter
- Tests all types of radio altimeters, including LPI variants
- Direct-connect to UUT TX/RX connectors or at the aircraft's TX/RX antennas via couplers
- Fast detector for tracking LPI radio altimeters with TX power management
- Software upgradeable
- Parametric measurements of TX power, frequency, pulse width, FM deviation, PFR for most radio altimeter types
- Large touchscreen display
