Page 13: About The Tc-201A
Eff ects of Multi-path The TC-201A eliminates errors due to effects of multi-path. TCAS is tested as a coupled connection through the UUT antenna avoiding multi-path from the ramp, hangar, buildings and other aircraft, eliminating the need for moving UUT aircraft away from factors causing multi-path. -
