Radio Altimeter Test Procedure Using the

VIAVI ALT-8000/8015

The VIAVI ALT-8000/8015 RF-Based Portable Radio Altimeter Flight Line Test Set allows replication of in-

flight conditions by simulating altitudes, including climb/descend profiles, to verify your installed system and

isolate a bad component.

This document provides the basic instructions to test an installed system. With little editing, it can be easily

adapted to your aircraft platform for formal procedure development.

Altitude Simulation Test via Direct-Connect

1. Perform the ALT-8000/8015 Test Setup instructions beginning on page 1.

2. Ensure that two of the 20 dB TNC attenuators are connected to the UUT:RX Port (Yellow) of the

ALT-8000/8015. Connect one 20 dB attenuator directly to the ALT-8000/8015 and then connect the

second 20 dB attenuator directly to the first one. Then connect the coax to these attenuators.

NOTE: 20 dB attenuators are only required for pulse type radio altimeters. They are not used for

FMCW and FMCW-CDF type radio altimeters.

3. Connect the red coaxial cable to the TX port of the radio altimeter being tested. Connect the yellow

coax to the RX port of the radio altimeter being tested.

4. Apply power to the radio altimeter being tested.

5. Set RF Settings – Connection Type to Direct. See Figure 2-1.

6. Touch the gray vertical bar on the left side of the display to display the launch bar.

7. On the launch bar, press the Simulation function key. See Figure 1-2 and 2-2.

8. Ensure Control – Simulation is set to Manual. See Figure 2-2.

9. Set Control – Altitude to 100 ft. See Figure 2-2.

10. Press the Run button to start the altitude simulation. See Figure 2-2.

11. Ensure that an RF value is displayed in the UUT Parameters – Power (at UUT) window. If no power

is displayed, check your connections and power to the UUT. See Figure 2-3.

12. Verify that the UUT Parameters are all within the desired range.

13. Verify that the display on the RADIO ALTIMETER displays approximately 100 ft.

NOTE: The Delay Settings – Altitude Offset setting may be adjusted to make the display read

exactly 100 ft. See Figure 2-1.

14. Press the Control - Altitude Pause button to change the simulated altitude. See Figure 2-3.

15. Set Control - Current Altitude to desired test altitude (i.e. 500 ft, 1000 ft, 1500 ft.) up to maximum

altitude capable for your radio.

16. Verify that the UUT Parameters are all within the desired range.

NOTE: Link margin is only displayed for pulse type radio altimeters.

17. Verify that the display on the RADIO ALTIMETER displays approximately the same as the Control

Current Altitude setting.

18. Press the Stop button to stop the altitude simulation. See Figure 2-3.

Altitude Simulation Test via Coupler

1. Perform the ALT-8000/8015 Test Setup instructions beginning on page 1.

2. Ensure that one of the 20 dB TNC attenuators is connected to the UUT:RX Port (Yellow) of the ALT-

8000/8015. Connect the 20 dB attenuator directly to the ALT-8000/8015 and then connect the coax

to the attenuator.

NOTE: 20 dB attenuators are only required for pulse type radio altimeters. They are not used for

FMCW and FMCW-CDF type radio altimeters.

3. Locate the UUT:RX (Yellow) coupler and connect it to the UUT:RX (Yellow) cable.

4. Adjust the support poles to a length that will allow the compression poles to press the couplers into

the aircraft just tight enough to hold the couplers in place.

5. Place the UUT:TX (Red) coupler over the TX antenna, with the arrow pointing toward the front of the

aircraft.

NOTE: Some aircraft may have the antennas oriented toward each other and not toward the front of

the aircraft. To determine the orientation, rotate the coupler 90 degrees at a time while watching the

output power reading on the ALT-8000/8015. The highest power measurement indicates the correct

placement of the coupler and the orientation of the antenna. Leave the coupler in the position that

produced the highest power measurement.

6. Place the UUT:RX (Yellow) coupler over the RX antenna, with the arrow pointing toward the front of

the aircraft.

NOTE: If the TX antenna coupler is oriented toward the front of the aircraft, then orient the RX

coupler toward the front of the aircraft. If the TX antenna coupler is pointed toward the RX antenna,

then orient the RX coupler toward the TX antenna coupler.

7. Touch the gray vertical bar on the left side of the display to display the launch bar.

8. On the launch bar, press the Simulation function key. See Figures 1-2 and 2-2.

is displayed, check your connections, coupler positioning, and power to the UUT. See Figure 2-3.

13. Verify that the UUT Parameters are all within the desired range.

14. Verify that the display on the RADIO ALTIMETER displays approximately 100 ft.

NOTE: The Delay Settings – Altitude Offset setting may be adjusted to make the display read

exactly 100 ft. See Figure 2-1.

15. Press the Control - Altitude Pause button to change the simulated altitude. See Figure 2-3.

16. Set Control - Current Altitude to desired test altitude (i.e. 500 ft, 1000 ft, 1500 ft.) up to maximum

altitude capable for your radio.

17. Verify that the UUT Parameters are all within the desired range.
