ALT-9000 Radio Altimeter Test Set
Versatile, time-saving, portable test set for all types of radio altimeters.
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.
The ALT-9000 provides altitude simulations with true RF time delay and path loss models to test any format of radio altimeter system including Low Probability of Intercept (LPI), Combined Altitude Radar Altimeter (CARA) & Next Generation variants.
Key Features:
- Tests all types of radio altimeters, including LPI variants
- Direct-connect at the UUT TX/RX connectors or at the aircrafts TX/RX antennas via antenna couplers
- Fast detector for tracking LPI radio altimeters with TX power management
- Software upgradeable
- Parametric measurements of TX power/frequency/pulse width/FM deviation/PRF for most radio altimeter types
- Large touchscreen display
All items required to test radio altimeter systems are included in the ALT-9000 kit.
