Now that the potential for 5G interference of an aircraft’s Radio Altimeter (RADALT) is being discussed industry-wide, the next question is “How to test an aircraft’s Radio Altimeter to determine if it is susceptible to 5G interference”.
VIAVI has a long history of designing and manufacturing avionics test solutions, including RADALT test solutions. The following information will focus on the latest VIAVI universal RADALT test set, the ALT-9000, but the information is relevant to all VIAVI RADALT test sets, including the ALT-8000 and ALT-8015. Use of the ALT-8000 or ALT-8015 for this application will assume the RADALT under test has previously been confirmed to work with the test set to be used.
