MASS-15 Continuous Echo Simulation Excitation System of Radio Altimeter

The MASS-15 Continuous Echo Simulation Excitation System of Radio Altimeter is a specialized testing equipment designed to support the performance verification, calibration, and development of radio altimeters. It focuses on generating stable, continuous echo signals that accurately replicate real-world altitude-related signal environments—including varying echo amplitudes, frequency characteristics, and delay parameters corresponding to different flight altitudes and terrain conditions. By providing these realistic simulated excitation signals, the system enables radio altimeters to operate under controlled laboratory conditions, allowing engineers to test key functions such as height measurement accuracy, continuous tracking stability, and anti-interference capability. Its reliable continuous echo simulation function not only replaces the need for complex and costly field tests but also ensures consistent, repeatable test results, making it an essential tool for ensuring the reliability and performance of radio altimeters in practical aviation applications.

MDG-200 Radio Altimeter

The MDG-200 radio height-setting device operates in the C-band and adopts a monopulse working system. Its sensitive component is of the heterodyne type, and the circulator at the antenna terminal uses a transceiver common-mode configuration. Prior to missile launch, the height-setting device needs to be powered on; it then performs a self-check and completes height setting via the communication interface.

Subminiature Radio Altimeter MY-70A

The MY-70A radio altimeter is a solid-state C-band radio altimeter system based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology, featuring constant beat frequency and closed-loop tracking measurement. It maintains a constant beat frequency by servo-controlling the slope of the sawtooth wave that modulates the microwave oscillator, thereby achieving automatic altitude tracking.
