MAST-09 Radio Altimeter Detection Unit

The MAST-09 Radio Altimeter Detection Unit is a compact, aerospace-grade component that monitors, validates, and processes radio altimeter data for aircraft. It filters interference, cross-references data with other flight sensors, and detects faults (e.g., signal loss, calibration drift) to deliver reliable terrain-relative altitude info—critical for safe takeoff, low-altitude flight, approach, and landing, even in low visibility. Built to meet strict aerospace standards (e.g., DO-160, DO-178), it withstands extreme environmental conditions, suiting commercial and special aircraft.

MASS-21 Echo Simulator of Radio Altimeter

​The MASS-21 Radio Altimeter Echo Simulator is capable of simulating both static and dynamic echo signals of altimeters under a variety of altitude conditions and reflection coefficient scenarios. It is compatible with radio altimeters of multiple systems, including frequency modulation (FM) systems, phase modulation (PM) systems, and pulse systems, and is also equipped with a built-in self-check function to ensure its own operational reliability during use.

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. Under the condition of a constant beat frequency, the measured altitude is proportional to the modulation period; thus, altitude information can be acquired by measuring the modulation period, and the system then converts this information into an altitude voltage for output. The MY-70A altimeter boasts excellent anti-jamming performance, thanks to its adoption of a narrow-band receiver (with gain adjustable according to altitude), as well as technologies including equivalent spectrum front-end detection, weighted frequency identification, and automatic servo tracking. Additionally, the altimeter’s high-frequency components are implemented with microwave integration, while its low-frequency components utilize a modular design—these measures collectively enhance the product’s reliability, anti-interference capability, and electromagnetic compatibility.
