Viavi AVX-10K Operation Manual page 88

The AVX-10K can also be used to test the onboard equipment using the over-the-air test
setup. When using this setup, the antenna gain, the height of the antenna and the
distance from the antenna must be considered. These values can also be entered in the
Setup tab. The antenna gain values can be found on the label of the antenna.
CAUTION: Testing over-the-air with ADS-B transponder turned on can cause
interference with ATC and nearby aircraft. Utilize antenna couples and proper shielding
where applicable and refer to SAFO 17002 and follow proper procedures to avoid.
Three antennas are shipped with the AVX-10K-CNS kit. The larger panel antenna
(AC10K-ANT-FPANT) is intended for use with all Transponder, TCAS, Target Generation
and the DME Applications.
The other two antennas (AC10K-ANT-ILS and AC10K-ANT-MB) are intended for use for
Navigation, COMMs and ELT Testing. The AC10K-ANT-ILS antenna has a rubber base
and can be extended. The AC10K-ANT-MB antenna is short, non-extendable and rubber
encased (shown below on the right).
