TCAS / DME / VOR / ILS Test Equipment
TCAS, DME, VOR and ILS test equipment covers two jobs: flight-line test sets that simulate signals to check the aircraft's own receivers and TCAS, such as the VIAVI AVX-10K with ILS, VOR, DME, TACAN and TCAS I/II intruder generation [1], and ground analyzers that measure the radiated signals of airport ILS, VOR, marker beacon and GBAS stations, such as the R&S EVSG1000 [2]. Novatelia sources both by RFQ for customers in Oman and qualified GCC projects.
Applications
- Commissioning and servicing ILS, VOR, NDB and marker beacon ground stations [2].
- Analysing ATC COM signals [2].
- Verifying GBAS VHF data broadcast (108.025–117.95 MHz) during ground and flight inspection [3].
Airborne (ramp) testing
- Simulating ILS, VOR, DME and TACAN signals to check aircraft NAV receivers [1].
- Generating TCAS I/II and TAS intruders to verify collision-avoidance displays and alerts [1].
Equipment types
- Portable, battery-capable signal level and modulation analyzers for ground inspection, e.g. R&S EVSG1000 [4].
- Airborne analyzers for flight inspection, e.g. R&S EVSF1000 [3].
Technologies
- Measurement of DDM, SDM and modulation depth on ILS signals [2].
- Simultaneous course and clearance analysis on two-frequency ILS [4].
- Decoding of all eight GBAS timeslots synchronised by an external PPS signal [3].
How to select equipment
- Confirm which navaids you maintain and choose the matching software options (ILS, VOR, marker beacon, GBAS, COM) [5].
- Check frequency range (EVSG1000: 70–410 MHz) and dynamic range (>130 dB) against your sites [2].
- Decide between ground-only use and installation in a measurement vehicle [3].
Customer types
- Air navigation service providers
- Airport operators and their navaid maintenance teams
- Navaid installation contractors and ground inspection service providers [5]
Relevant standards
- ICAO Annex 10 – Aeronautical Telecommunications [4].
- ICAO Doc 8071 – Manual on Testing of Radio Navigation Aids [4].

Frequently asked technical questions
Who uses an ILS/VOR analyzer?
ANSPs, ground inspection service providers, national ATC authorities and navaid manufacturers and airport technicians [5].
Does ground testing replace flight inspection?
No; ground and flight inspection are complementary, and R&S offers separate instruments for each [3].
