Transponder/DME Test Set ATC-5000NG | VIAVI SOLUTIONS
The ATC-5000NG is a next-generation RF signal generator and receiver designed for testing Mode A, C, and S transponders. Built on modern software-defined radio (SDR) technology, it replaces the commercial functionality of legacy systems such as the SDX-2000, ATC-1400A, and S-1403DL. With a 10.4-inch touchscreen and Windows®-based interface, the ATC-5000NG is ideal for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing, and return-to-service testing. Its software-driven architecture allows for field updates to add new features or adapt to evolving industry standards.
