Product overview
The R&S®EVSD1000 is a signal level and modulation analyzer designed for medium-sized drones. It analyses ILS (instrument landing system), GBAS (ground-based augmentation system) and VOR (VHF omnidirectional range) ground stations precisely and reproducibly in line with ICAO Doc 8071 and Annex 10, and it also analyses air traffic control (ATC COM) communications signals. The extremely compact housing can take an integrated battery and a Wi-Fi data link module, which makes it particularly suited to flight inspection work in places that are hard to reach or where conventional ground measurement is restricted.
Key features
- Precise, reproducible analysis of ILS, GBAS and VOR ground stations in line with ICAO Doc 8071 and Annex 10
- High measurement rate: up to 100 data records per second, for dynamic in-flight measurement
- Simultaneous analysis of course and clearance signals on dual-frequency (2F) ILS systems (requires option K1)
- Compact, light and rugged enough to integrate straight into a drone measurement system, and supplied with the ILS/VOR antenna (R&S®EVSD1-Z3)
- Optional lithium-ion battery (R&S®EVSD1-Z1) for standalone power, with 1 hour of operation
- Optional K-series software licences extend the instrument to detailed VOR analysis (K2), GBAS testing (K4), ATC COM analysis (K6), RF/AF spectrum analysis (K10/K11), time domain analysis (K12) and I/Q data streaming (K25)
- 8 GB of internal storage with export in CSV or the native R&S®EVSG format
- IP43 ingress protection and operation from –10 °C to +50 °C
- Straightforward remote control through the Wi-Fi data link module (R&S®EVSD1-Z5) at ranges up to 1000 m (line of sight)
- GNSS RTK support (R&S®EVSD1-Z6) for decimetre-level positioning accuracy, which suits precisely georeferenced measurement
Typical applications
- Commissioning, maintenance and service of ILS (localizer, glide path), VOR and marker beacon ground stations
- VDB signal testing and verification of GBAS ground stations
- Level, frequency and modulation analysis of air traffic control (ATC) communications signals
- Drone-borne flight inspection of navigation systems at locations conventional ground measurement cannot reach
- Periodic calibration checks and acceptance testing of ground navigation equipment to ICAO requirements
