1. Introduction The DOPPLER VOR TEST RACK test bench is a specialized avionics workstation engineered to validate the performance, reliability, and functional integrity of Doppler VHF Omnidirectional Range (DVOR) navigation beacons and their subsystems. DVOR stations play a critical role in civil and military aviation by providing azimuth information—via the Doppler-modulated 30 Hz signals—to aircraft receivers, enabling accurate en-route navigation and instrument approaches. 2. Key Features - Universal Module Coverage: Supports both intelligent modules (keyer/interface units, local status indicators) and slave modules (mains power supplies, pulse filters, RF combiners), encompassing over 15 distinct LRUs in one rack. - Built-In BIT & Fault Isolation: Executes start-up self-diagnostics and guided fault-location routines, reducing mean-time-to-repair by up to 40%. - Automated Test Sequencing & Reporting: Pre-configured scripts drive RF stimulation, DC power stress tests, and waveform captures; results auto-logged in a centralized database with instant PDF/printable report generation. - Wideband RF Signal Generation: Covers 960 MHz–1250 MHz with ±0.1 MHz accuracy; power range up to +8 dBm, ensuring compliance with ICAO Annex 10 standards. - High-Precision Instruments: True-RMS DMM (0.05% basic accuracy), 8-bit PC-based oscilloscope (200 MS/s), AC power analyzer (±0.1%), and programmable DC supply (0–30V, 700 W) for measurement traceability. - Rugged Design & Power Resilience: MIL-grade cabling, IP65-rated enclosure, anti-glare touch display, and 20-minute UPS backup. 3. Applications The TB_DVOR is structured into three optimized subsystems: A. Control & HMI Unit ▹ 15′′ IP65-rated multi-touch LCD with anti-glare glass for clear read-outs under shop lighting. ▹ Backlit full-size keyboard and optical mouse for detailed setup and scripting. ▹ Industrial PC (Intel Core i5, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD) running Windows 10 IoT Enterprise. ▹ Custom .NET GUI featuring drag-and-drop test configuration, multi-user accounts with audit logs, and real-time dashboards. B. Instrumentation Rack ▹ RF Signal Generator: High-stability synthesizer with Doppler emulation profiles for full azimuth sweep testing. Measurement Suite: ▹ True-RMS DMM for voltage, current, resistance, and frequency. ▹ PC-attached oscilloscope (200 MS/s) with advanced triggers, FFT analysis, and waveform saving. ▹ AC power analyzer for mains quality, power factor, and harmonic distortion checks. Power Modules: ▹ 0–30 V, 700 W programmable DC supply with slew-rate control and protection circuits. ▹ Isolated AC mains input with EMI/RFI filters, surge protection, and automatic voltage regulation. ▹ Connectivity & Expansion: Modular backplane supporting GPIB, LXI, and Ethernet I/O cards for future protocol integration. C. Safety & Diagnostics ▹ Emergency-stop button with hardware interlock to immediately kill outputs. ▹ Tri-color tower light and audio alarms for clear pass/fail/fault indications. ▹ Fold-down maintenance panel granting quick access to wiring looms, test points, and calibration ports without moving the whole cabinet. ▹ Embedded health monitoring logging temperature, fan speed, and UPS status for preventive maintenance. Built to CE and MIL-STD-810 shock/vibration standards for reliable shop-floor operation. Technical specifications
