DS-HES-C Radio Altimeter Simulator (Core module)
- The core module of the DS-HES altimeter tester can be sold separately or integrated into higher-order assemblies. These assemblies can be configured to meet various performance specifications in order to be compatible with the customer’s form, fit, and function requirements.
- Compare with traditional SAM(surface acoustic wave) delay line systems, DS-HES series products have more advantages such as a wide working frequency band, high straight suppression ratio, triple transit signals that are immeasurable, long-life operation without calibration, and high work reliability.
Features of the Core module of the Altimeter Tester Simulator
※ Wide simulated height range(0 to 22000 above );
※ High simulate altimeter accuracy(≥1‰);
※ Optional simulate configuration(support more than 210 configurations);
