ATC-5000NG (Viavi / Aeroflex) Features and Specifications *
The VIAVI ATC-5000NG is a cutting-edge RF signal generator/receiver that sets the standard for testing Mode 3/A, C, and S transponders in the aviation industry. With its advanced features and specifications, the ATC-5000NG is a versatile tool designed to meet the demands of modern air traffic control systems and NextGen technology. One of the key features of the ATC-5000NG is its ability to independently configure up to 600 ADS-B, TIS-B, or ADS-R target types. This includes 32 dynamic targets and 568 static targets, making it a highly flexible and customizable testing solution for a wide range of applications. The ATC-5000NG is equipped with software-driven design, allowing for field updates to add new features, capabilities, or modifications as needed.
The ATC-5000NG also offers ADS-B squitter decode and logging for ADS-B Out testing, with support for DO-260, DO-260A, and DO-260B data parsing. Additionally, preconfigured tests for DO-260B MOPS are available as an option, providing users with a comprehensive testing solution for compliance with industry standards. In terms of target generation, the ATC-5000NG can generate ATCRBS/Mode S interrogations and supports multi-receiver test capability with the ATCNGOPT03 option. It also features UAT TX/RX capability with the ATCNGOPT02 option, pulse and frequency measurement, and remote control via GPIB or Ethernet for added convenience and flexibility in testing procedures.
The Viavi/ATG ATC-5000NG is designed with a modern architecture that ensures compatibility with future standards changes, making it a future-proof investment for users looking to stay ahead of evolving technologies in the aviation industry. Its full diversity testing capability and data parsing in engineering units further enhance its utility for a wide range of testing applications. With internal pulse measurement capability, the ATC-5000NG eliminates the need for an oscilloscope, streamlining testing processes and reducing the need for additional equipment. This feature, along with its support for Air Traffic Control Modernization mandates such as NextGen and SESAR, makes the ATC-5000NG a valuable tool for organizations looking to comply with industry regulations and standards.
The ATC-5000NG is the ideal test equipment for engineering development, certification, manufacturing, and service in the aviation industry. It is capable of testing a wide range of devices, including transponders (Mode S/ADS-B Out), ADS-B In receivers, UAT receivers, 1090MHz DF18 Emitters (surface vehicles), ADS-B In Ground Station Receivers, ADS-R, TIS-B Ground Station Transmitters, and DMEs. In terms of specifications, the ATC-5000NG is a compact and lightweight test set, with dimensions of 10.5 in x 19 in x 24 in and a weight of 41 lbs (18.6 kg) for the test set only. It is designed to meet MIL-PRF-28800F (Class 3 Device) standards and is certified for CE, UL/EN 61010-1, and EN 61326-1 compliance. The test set operates within a temperature range of 0 to +40°C (32° to 104°F) and can be stored in temperatures ranging from 0 to +71°C (32° to 159.8°F).
ATC-5000NG comes with a range of ordering options and accessories to enhance its functionality and usability. Optional accessories include the Pelican 1690 Transit Case, RGS-2000NG/ATC-5000NG, while standard accessories include a keyboard with touchpad for easy operation. Extended warranty options are also available, including 3 years with scheduled calibration and 5 years with scheduled calibration, providing users with peace of mind and long-term support for their testing needs.
The Viavi/Aeroflex ATC-5000NG price and features make it a very attractive option comparing to similar transponder / ADS-B test sets available on the market.
