Welcome to the R&S
EDST300
The R&S
EDST300 is an analyzer designed for installing, testing and servicing
pulsed terrestrial navigation systems like DME and TACAN ground equipment. Its
wide dynamic range and compact design make the R&S
EDST300 ideal espe-
cially for wired and field measurements on DME and TACAN ground stations.
The R&S
EDST300 provides high-precision stimulus and analysis functions for
DME / TACAN signals in the frequency range from 960
MHz to 1215
MHz. It per-
forms TX/RX measurements required for DME und TACAN ground stations in line
with the relevant civil and military standards accurately and efficiently.
The R&S
EDST300 can precisely determine characteristic parameters such as
peak power, main delay, reply efficiency, and can decode the identifier of the
ground station to be tested. The instrument also measures the parameters of
TACAN stations (R&S
EDST-K1 option) and performs in-depth pulse analysis
(R&S
®
EDST-K2 option).
The modular design of the R&S
EDST300 provides a high degree of flexibility to
adapt it to the task at hand. An interrogator (R&S
EDST-B2 option) with adjusta-
ble output power (-80
dBm to +30
dBm peak power) is available for distance
measurements. An internal battery (R&S
EDST-B3 option) and a test antenna
(R&S
EDST-Z1 option) deliver maximum flexibility when carrying out field mea-
surements. Measured data can be exported to a control system via remote con-
trol (LAN), or stored on a USB flash drive.
