R&S®GT231T1 Test Generator/MC
Key Facts
Application
The R&S GT231T1 is a very helpful option for R&S Series200 VHF/UHF receiving equipment and an innovative idea and system solution for integrated and in-channel RF tests of ATC receiving systems. Its integrated RF test generator offers two applications:
- Initiated built-in test (IBIT) of all associated single- and multichannel receivers to be performed locally and remotely via a REM BUS or, with single-channel receivers, also INBAND operated R&S RCMS (Remote Control and Monitoring System)
- Convenient frequency change at the single-channel radio site without the use of an external RF test generator
The designation "Test Generator/MC" indicates its operation in connection with the VHF/UHF Multicoupler R&S VT231.
Design and integration
The R&S GT231T1 is:
- designed as a 1/8 19" front module for slot 8 of the 19" Adapter R&S KR231A8
- connected mutually and automatically to the rear VHF/UHF Multicoupler R&S VT231 which supplies DC, the central REM BUS and the individual RX REM BUS interface and the CBIT RF signal directional coupler and distribution via its RF outputs
- connected manually (front panel RF output) with the extended singlechannel receiver for frequency change using the facilities of the Frequency Tuning Kit R&S KA231F
