RADIO ALTIMETER TEST SET

Introduction of Radio Altimeter Simulator

DS-HES series radio altimeter simulators are photoelectric delay systems specially developed for various radio altimeter simulators’ production, measurements, and maintenance. The systems depend on the technology of the fiber-optic delay line, using fiber-optic lines as the carrier, and the feature of light delay to simulate RF microwave signals’ space transmission distance. In addition, with this technology, the systems can simulate and measure different heights’ transmission.

NEON’s radio altimeter test set mainly contains three models: standard case, portable and core module.
