Software-driven design allows for field updates for adding new features, capability or modifications due to industry changes

The ATC-5000NG is an RF signal generator/receiver for testing Mode A, C and S transponders. The ATC-5000NG was designed with modern software defined radio technology and is the replacement product for the commercial functionality of the SDX-2000, ATC-1400A and S-1403DL. The test set was designed for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing and return-to-service testing.
