SDX-2000 signal generator

Designed in consultation with the world's leading Mode-S transponder manufacturers, the SDX 2000 is the first new technology, fully programmable RF tester that provides complete test capability for all commercial and military pulsed L-band avionics: ATCRBS and Mode-S Transponder (including datalink), DME, TACAN, and IFF (Identify Friend or Foe). Here are just a few of the user benefits:

•  Maximum test capability in a single tester 
•  Increased reliability 
  
•  Reduced calibration time and expense 
  
•  Decreased LRU test times 
  
•  Software easily upgraded in field via floppy disk distribution
  

The SDX 2000 also has superior technical and operational features:

•  Active matrix color LCD display simplifies data display 
•  Graphical user interface via acoustic wave touch sensitive screen 
  
•  Pop-up menus for simplified control 
  
•  Integral solid-state disk drive for storing commonly used test sequences and semi-automated testing 
  
•  DSP (Digital Signal Processing) technology improves reliability and reduces calibration requirements 
  
•  Dual, independent L-Band generators simulate true "signal-in-space" for diversity testing 
  
•  Fully GPIB programmable for ATE applications
