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
