The RGS-2000NG TCAS Test Set is an RF signal generator/receiver for testing TCAS (Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System) with an option available for testing transponder LRUs. The RGS-2000NG was designed with modern software-driven digital modulation technology and is the RGS-2000 replacement for engineering development, design validation, manufacturing and return-to-service testing.

• Software-driven design allows for field updates for adding new features, capability or modifications due to industry changes
• TCAS and ADS-B Target Generator
• Simulates 32 dynamic and 568 static ADS-B/TCAS targets at 1090 MHz in scenario mode
• Simulates 32 dynamic and 1,500 static UAT targets at 978 MHz as airborne or ground link messages ¹
• Simulates blocks of up to 1,000 messages for Ground Station and TCAS messages at 1030 MHz ²
• ADS-B squitter encode/decode
• More test capability than any tester in the market, all packed into one box
• Pulse and frequency measurement Transponder test option for Modes A, C, S
• Optional Command set emulation for SDX-2000, ATC-1400A and S-1403DL
• 10.4 inch touch screen LCD display for operator control of all test set capabilities or can be remotely controlled via GPIB or Ethernet
