U.K. Repair Station Offers All-in-One Avionics Flight Line Test Set
Muirhead Avionics—one of the largest independent avionics repair facilities in Europe, and a brand of AMETEK MRO, a global provider of third-party Maintenance, Repair, and Operations (MRO) services—has secured exclusive distribution rights for the SDR-OMNI All-in-One Avionics Flight Test Set in Europe.
Manufactured by Tel Instruments, the SDR-OMNI Flight Line Test Set provides avionics technicians a comprehensive suite of radio frequency (RF) avionics test capability in a single rugged, lightweight package for demanding commercial and military applications. Professionally formatted reports can be downloaded from the device via USB or wirelessly printed to a local wireless printer.
The SDR-OMNI’s combination of hardware and software is capable of testing virtually any RF signal from 200 kHz to 2.0 GHz. Test functions are implemented using software-defined signal processes that generate, receive, and measure complex avionics signals covering narrow band analog or digital communications, intricate navigation, and wide-band pulse or data protocols.
Muirhead Avionics managing director and divisional vice president Steve Wells states: “This device will be a game changer for avionics testing. At Muirhead, we endeavor to deliver the latest technologies to our customers, and this test set fits into our portfolio perfectly, offering unmatched capability and ease of use. This is the first RF test set that is completely software defined – technicians simply need to specify the avionics test app, or combination of apps they would like to use. It is also the lightest test set in the market at only 4.2 pounds. Additionally, its large 7-inch color display with responsive touchscreen means the SDR-OMNI is designed with the specialized demands of commercial and military customers in mind.”
