VIAVI - TC-201 TCAS/Transponder Directional Antenna Couplers
- • Accommodates both phase and amplitude type antennas
- • Reliable, FAR Part 43, Appendix F, ERP and MTL testing in high multi-path environments
- • Provides >20 dB of isolation
- • Provides shielding for all transponder and ADS-B performance testing
