Testing a Single Antenna Radio Altimeter (SARA) with the ALT-8000 or ALT-9000 Radio Altimeter Test Set

2 Pages

Testing a single‑antenna radio altimeter with the ALT‑8000 or ALT‑9000 requires using a circulator that provides at least 36 dB of isolation in line with the antenna coupler. The coupler connects to the circulator so the SARA’s transmitted RF signal is routed to the test set’s UUT TX port, while the UUT RX port routes the return signal back through the circulator to the coupler. The coupler then delivers the return signal to the SARA, completing the test loop. The two 20‑foot coax cables and one 1‑foot cable supplied with the test set are recommended for proper setup.
