MASS-18 Universal Echo Precision Delay Module (Miniature Universal Continuous Simulation)

The MASS-18 Universal Echo Precision Delay Module, characterized by its miniature design and universal continuous simulation capability, is a high-precision component engineered for precise echo signal delay adjustment in radio frequency (RF) testing scenarios. It specializes in delivering accurate, customizable delay for echo signals across a broad frequency range, making it compatible with diverse RF devices—including radio altimeters, surveillance radars, and communication systems—that require reliable echo signal simulation. Its compact form factor allows easy integration into space-constrained test setups, while the universal continuous simulation function ensures consistent replication of real-world signal delay conditions (such as those caused by varying altitudes or distances). By enabling precise control over echo delay, the module plays a critical role in verifying key performance metrics of target devices, such as signal capture accuracy, delay response, and data processing reliability, thereby supporting the development, calibration, and quality assurance of high-performance RF equipment with flexibility and precision.​

Subminiature Radio Altimeter MY-70B

The MY-70B radio altimeter is a solid-state C-band radio altimeter system based on frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) technology, characterized by 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.
