The VIAVI UC-584 series supports repeatable ERP and MTL tests at installed transponder antennas. The couplers are designed for multipath ramp and hangar environments.
Advantages
- Positioning slot for repeatable coupling
- More than 20 dB antenna isolation
- Variants for top and bottom antennas
Key features
- Antenna format: fits many Shark Fin L-band antennas; verify mechanical fit
- Testing: transponder and ADS-B checks with a suitable test set
- Instrument examples in the data sheet: IFR6000, IFR6015, APM-424(V)5 and IFF-45TS
| Variant | Positioning |
|---|---|
| UC-584 | Clamping mechanism for the bottom antenna |
| UC-584S | Pole-assisted placement at the top antenna |
Typical applications
- Transponder power and sensitivity measurements
- Maintenance of installed avionics
Additional information
Shielding reduces RF leakage. Effectiveness also depends on the test environment. EMCO helps select the coupler and connection configuration.
