Description

The VIAVI ATC-5000NG Transponder Bench Test Set is a state-of-the-art RF signal generator and receiver built for comprehensive testing of Mode A, C, and S transponders, as well as ADS-B systems. Leveraging modern software-defined radio technology, this test set replaces the commercial functionality of legacy units such as the SDX-2000, ATC-1400A, and S-1403DL.

Designed for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing, and return-to-service testing, the ATC-5000NG offers unmatched flexibility and precision. Its software-driven architecture allows for field updates to add new features and adapt to evolving industry standards. Equipped with a 10.4-inch touchscreen LCD, Ethernet/GPIB remote control, and advanced data logging capabilities, this test set simplifies complex testing procedures while ensuring compliance with DO-181E, DO-260, DO-260A, DO-260B, and DO-282B standards.

Applications include transponder testing, ADS-B target generation, UAT TX/RX capability (optional), and full diversity testing for ground stations and airborne systems.
