The S-1403DL is a highly advanced Mode S Test System designed to simulate an ATCRBS/Mode S equipped Secondary Surveillance Radar (SSR) ground station. This system offers a wide range of features and capabilities to facilitate efficient and accurate testing of Air Traffic Control Radar Beacon System (ATCRBS) and Mode Select (Mode S) transponders. With its pulse and Differential Phase Shift Keying (DPSK) modulated signals, the S-1403DL provides comprehensive testing options for various scenarios.
One of the standout features of the S-1403DL is its versatility in operation. It can be operated manually using the front panel controls and switches, allowing for quick and convenient testing. Alternatively, it can be operated remotely through one of the parallel or series remote interface connectors, providing flexibility and ease of use. This remote operation capability enables seamless integration with other testing equipment and systems.
The S-1403DL also boasts a range of advanced functionalities. These include ATCRBS (ATC) function, Mode S Sequence (SEQ) function, ATCRBS Only All Call (ACS) function, ATCRBS/Mode S All Call (ACL) function, Interlacing (INTLCE) function, Double Interrogation (DI) function, and Burst function. Additionally, it offers two RF Input/Output Connectors for Antenna A/Antenna B diversity testing, with set frequency and output levels. The system also features a four-line by 40 column indicator for displaying parameters, 24 control keys for data entry and function selection, and variable interrogation rates for ATCRBS and Mode S.
