ALT-9000 Radio Altimeter Test Set
The VIAVI ALT-9000 is a portable radio altimeter flight line test set that utilizes fiber optic delay to allow it to work with all types of radio altimeters.
The ALT-9000 tests the complete radio altimeter system, allowing the operator to isolate a problem to the antenna, coax, LRU or indicator. This eliminates unnecessary LRU swaps or other system component replacements.
Key Features
- Fiber optic delay line based test set supports all formats of radio altimeters
- Portable ruggedized enclosure for flight line or benchtop use
- Battery operated
- Simulates static altitudes from 5* ft. to 10,000 ft. in 5 ft. increments (*Minimum altitude dependent on interconnecting cables)
- Extended Range Option: Simulate 16,000 ft and 25,000 ft as discrete altitude selections
- +20 dB of power level offset from nominal loop loss value
- Touch-screen operation
- Direct-connect to UUT T/R or installed system via antenna couplers
Benefits
- Perform complete closed loop system tests
- Replicate in-flight conditions
- Isolate faulty components of the installed system
- Create profiles for dynamic altitude simulations
- Simulate 5 ft* to 10,000 ft in 5 ft increments (Extended Range Option: Simulate 16,000 ft and 25,000 ft as discrete altitude selections) Applications
- Simulate static or dynamic altitudes to support testing of TCAS and GPWS/TAWS aircraft systems
- Test RX sensitivity of the radio altimeter
