The IFF-45TS is an RF signal simulator that provides support for AIMS Mark XIIA transponders and interrogators. It operates under remote control from a computer or ATE system and provides versatile signal generation and measurement capability of Mark XIIA system signals in bench and over-the-air applications.

Typical applications include:

* Support for engineering development of Mark XIIA equipment (Mode 5) * Manufacturing ATE for Mark XIIA equipment * Support for AIMS 03-1000 and DO-181 certification testing * Test set AIMS certification expected December ‘06 * Over-the-air testing of Mark XIIA equipment * Test range to 3 km with appropriate antennas * Ramp testing of installed equipment performance

Principali Caratteristiche tecniche:

• Dual I/O for diversity transponder or sum / difference interrogator testing; optional third direct I/O for testing interrogators with sum / difference / omni antenna configurations
• Separate RF I/O for direct connection to equipment under test, or connection to antennas for over-the-air testing
• May be configured with optional interfaces supporting AIMS 97-900 (external KIT-1C, KIR-1C Mode 4), or appliqué AIMS 04-900 Type A or AIMS 04-900 Type B Mode 4/5 cryptographic equipment
• Can produce levels above MTL at up to 10,000 ft. (greater distances or power levels are achievable with a directional antenna)
