TC-201B TCAS Transponder Antenna Coupler | Collins TSA-4100
Product Description
The TC-201B antenna couple provides shielding for TCAS and combined TCA transponder directional antenna during testing procedures on the transponder system. This antenna coupler supports maintenance testing in airborne conditions and reduces interference from air traffic control or nearby nearby aircraft.
This TC-201 antenna coupler (EDMO# TC-201B) supports Collins TSA-4100 and similar equipment and is recommended for use on fuselages size of 92 inches.
Features
- Accommodates both phase and amplitude
- Reliable test results according to FAR Part 43, Appendix F, ERP and MTL testing in high multi-path environments
- >20 dB signal isolation
- Shields frequencies for transponder and ADS-B testing
- Bearing selector dial allows for four-quadrant testing
- < 10 degrees TCAS bearing accuracy
- Reduces interference from air traffic control and nearby aircraft
- Reduced testing time with high level of repeatability
- Tests all quadrants of directional TCAS or TCAS/transponder antennas
- Line-of-sight testing is not required
- Eliminates the need for DD-1494 frequency authorization
- Universal design allows for use with any suitable TCAS/transponder test set
