The VIAVI TC-201 is a shielded coupler for directional TCAS and combined TCAS/transponder antennas. It reduces unwanted RF radiation during maintenance testing.
Advantages
- Repeatable coupling in multipath environments
- Testing of all four antenna quadrants
Key features
- Antenna types: phase- and amplitude-based directional antennas
- Isolation: more than 20 dB
- Documented test sets: IFR6000, IFR6015 and APM-424(V)5; AVX-10K in the Quick Reference Guide
Typical applications
- Testing installed TCAS and transponder antennas
- ERP and MTL measurements in maintenance
Additional information
Check mechanical fit and connection configuration before selection. Shielding reduces emissions without providing a blanket guarantee of complete RF suppression. EMCO advises on the appropriate version.
