Aeroflex enhances avionics test set with TACAN support
-- Test & Measurement World, 5/11/2009 9:00:00 AM
Aeroflex has added IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) test modes 1 and 2, as well as TACAN (Tactical Air Navigation), as standard features to its IFR 6015 ramp test set. Compact and weatherproof, the IFR 6015 is a battery-powered portable unit for testing the operation of aviation transponder modes 1, 2, and 3A/C/S, including ELS and EHS (European Elementary and Enhanced Surveillance); TCAS I, II, and Military E-TCAS; TIS; and now DME/TACAN.
The additional TACAN capabilities enable the 6015 to emulate several different TACAN test sets, including AN/ASM-663, AN/ARM-184, and Bradley 2650 and 2655. The 6015 supports all TACAN channels and includes RF level control for track sensitivity tests, displaying the full measurement parameters for the unit-under-test on the screen. It is also capable of complete simulation of T/R normal, T/R inverse, T/R range-only, A/A beacon, A/A inverse, and A/A range-only modes of operation.
The IFR 6015 provides accurate measurement of transponder transmitting frequency, power, and receiver sensitivity with predetermined configurations for testing any class of transponder. An intuitive user interface with one main screen for each test mode enables the test set to display the most commonly used test parameters on its large 5.7-in. LCD screen.
A rugged plastic transit case provides storage for the IFR 6015 and its detachable directional antenna, RF coax cable, antenna shield, breakout box, and power supply/charger. Aeroflex, www.aeroflex.com.
