Analogue signal generator tests avionics receivers
Aeroflex
Aeroflex SGA analogue signal generator
The Aeroflex SGA analogue signal generator with Option 6 provides the internal generation of waveforms required for testing avionics functions, such as navigation.
The new option includes waveforms for Instrument Landing Systems (ILS), VHF Omni-directional Radio (VOR), marker beacons and COM ID tones for airport identification.
Avionics parameters are presented in the same form as described in the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) standards.
The SGA with Option 6 offers a single instrument for testing avionics receivers and airfield alarm monitors.
Digitally generated modulating waveforms are provided to ensure accuracy and stable performance under all operating conditions.
ILS guides the aircraft’s approach to the runway, indicating to the pilot if the aircraft is too high or low or too far to the left or right, ensuring the aircraft remains on-course for a safe landing.
VOR is used by aircraft for in-flight navigation; it indicates the bearing to or from fixed beacons located on the ground.
Marker beacons indicate to the pilot the distance of the aircraft from the end of the runway.
Avionics tests require a signal generator with excellent modulation integrity to test the airborne navigation receivers and alarm monitors.
