SPECIFICATION

The TC-201 TCAS / Transponder Directional Antenna Couplers build on the VIAVI industry-leading expertise in avionics testing equipment. This newest coupler is used on directional TCAS and combined TCAS / Transponder antennas to shield the RF signal during testing of the TCAS or transponder system.

The TC-201, when used with the IFR6000, IFR6015, or APM-424(V)5 supports maintenance testing in the airborne condition without interfering with air traffic control or nearby aircraft.
