R&S®EDST300 TACAN/DME Station Tester Maintenance checks and signal-in-space analysis on TACAN and DME stations Test & Measurement

R&S®EDST300 TACAN/DME Station Tester At a glance The R&S®EDST300 TACAN/DME station tester is an analyzer designed for commissioning, testing and servicing pulsed terrestrial navigation systems. Its wide dynamic range and compact design make the R&S®EDST300 ideal especially for wired and field measurements on TACAN and DME ground stations. The R&S®EDST300 can precisely determine characteristic parameters such as peak power, main delay, reply efficiency, and can decode the identifier of the ground station to be tested. The instrument also measures the parameters of TACAN stations (R&S®EDST-K1...

Commissioning and regular maintenance checking of TACAN and DME ground stations Precise on-channel peak power and frequency measurements The R&S®EDST300 delivers high-precision measurements of the pulse peak power and carrier frequency of the overall system (e.g. by using a directional coupler connected to the system’s RF output) and of individual modules of the system, making external power sensors and frequency counters superfluous. The analyzer can determine the attenuation caused by the directional coupler and the RF cabling without using a network analyzer. Transducer tables are...

Efficient on-channel sensitivity measurement Time domain analysis of an MRB burst with R&S®EDST-K2. The R&S®EDST-B2 interrogator option for the R&S®EDST300 features a wide output power range (–80 dBm to +30 dBm). Via a directional coupler (coupling factor of e.g. 40 dB), the output power of the interrogation pulses transmitted to the TACAN/DME system’s RF port can be reduced to a range of e.g. –10 dBm to –120 dBm. This allows the precise determination of the sensitivity of a TACAN/DME station at the center frequency and at ±100 kHz offset from the center frequency as stipulated by the...

Signal-in-space analysis on TACAN and DME stations Efficient analysis in the field The R&S®EDST300 comes with an optional test antenna (R&S®EDST‑Z1). Using this antenna, the R&S®EDST300 can perform diverse signal-in-space measurements. In this way, range accuracy and many more system parameters such as signal strength in space, spacing between pulse pairs, reply efficiency and TACAN station bearings can be determined. Due to the directional characteristics of the test antenna, multipath effects are minimized. High dynamic range With a high dynamic range of 110 dB and excellent shielding of...

User-friendly design and applicationspecific extras Detailed analysis in line with relevant standards ICAO Annex 10, ICAO Doc. 8071, MIL‑STD‑291C and STANAG 5034 specify exactly how to service TACAN and DME systems. The high flexibility of the R&S®EDST300 makes it possible to perform all required measurements with a single instrument. Compact, robust design for stationary and mobile applications The R&S®EDST300 comes in a robust housing, which makes it ideal for measurements in the field. At the same time, the instrument offers lab quality accuracy. Accessories include a rugged, wheeled...
