TACAN/DME station tester is an analyzer designed for commissioning, testing and servicing pulsed terrestrial navigation systems.Brief descriptionThe R&S®EDST300 TACAN/DME station tester is an analyzer designed for commissioning, testing and servicing pulsed terrestrial navigation systems.

Customers from all over the world rely on the accuracy of an Rohde & Schwarz Spectrum Analyzer, Signal Analyzer or Vector Signal Analyzer.

In these cases, a software option code has to be obtained by Rohde&Schwarz to activate the option. 2.1 EDS300 The software can be used on all EDS300 units. 2.2 EDST300 Starting with Release 4.00, the software also supports the EDST300. Older SW versions can not be used on the EDST300. 1EE3 / PB ReleaseNotes_EDS300_SW_Release_4_00SP1 Page:4 of 19 3.

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.

Describes all instrument functions and remote control commands, as well as measurement and programming examples.

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.

This Application Note describes the basic operating principles of distance measurement equipment (DME) and tactical air navigation (TACAN) for distance and bearing measurements in aviation along with diverse test possibilities for maintenance of DME/TACAN ground stations.Some tests are performed on the ground (on the RF port of the DME or TACAN station or in the field via antenna) while others require flight inspection.The R&S®EDS300 DME/pulse analyzer is the specialist for flight inspection and simultaneous measurement of up to 10 different DME’s and can also be used for monitoring tasks on ground (e.g. far field monitoring of all DME’s of an airport).The R&S®EDST300 TACAN/DME analyzer focusses on commissioning and regular maintenance checking of TACAN and DME ground stations and battery operated field measurements in the immediate environment of the station.

The R&S®EDST300 efficiently and precisely analyzes TACAN and DME ground stations, making it ideal for commissioning and regular maintenance.

Civil aviation and military operations depend on accurate distance, location and direction measuring systems for public safety and military mission success. Failures of these systems may place lives at immediate risk. Terrestrial air navigation systems such as landing systems or en-route navigation systems require unique test and measurement capabilities. With demonstrated experience in this field, Rohde & Schwarz provides test solutions to cover every need from design, development and production to operational maintenance.
