Portable Tester for Transponder is the appropriate tool to make aircraft GO/NOGO radar tests.
Application
Portable Tester is a C-Band transponder Test Set designed to evaluate operability (GO/NOGO tests). It allows setting the output to a single or a dual pulse interrogation, pulse pair spacing and RF output in frequency range from 5400 to 5900 MHz.
Portable Tester for Transponder can be use either on the operation field, with its antenna or in a laboratory (via its N - RF connector). Therefore it has been designed to resist rain and dust.
The front panel commands consist in four buttons to set all the parameters. Portable Tester configuration is readable via a 2x16 LCD screen and saved when turned off. The test result (GO/NOGO) is given by a LED_Light (front panel) and a Buzzer.
Portable Tester is a light tester and can be easily carried during tests processing. It can also be turned on and left alone on the ground. The operator can thus climb in the plane and turn on the transponder to check its operability directly.
With Portable Tester the test can be achieved by one operator.
