Auditorium 1 - Day 1
Avionics Testing
10.00-10.30 Mastering Integration Complexity
Dieter Konnerth, Director R&D, TechSAT GmbH
TechSAT’s new test system generation based on “Distributed ADS2” is highly scalable from board or equipment level test systems to complete aircraft integration labs. Powerful configuration tools with integrated ICD and simulation management allow to automatically create the complete setup of a test lab from high level specifications. High-density test resources, a reduced number of different components and automated test bench design tools have led to significant cost and schedule optimization.
10.30-11.00 The Challenges of testing RF systems on Aircraft
Lee Foster, Avionics Sales Specialist, Aeroflex
It will concentrate on the problems being seen today with the listed systems, together with some innovative solutions to the problems.
11.00-11.30 Real Time Testing of Complex Avionics Systems
Tim Fountain, Market Dev.Mrg Aero & Defense, National Instruments
As Avionic Systems become more complex engineers are drawing on experiences from multiple domains to solve challenges that may be too early, dangerous or difficult to implement on their final production system. These challenges can range from actuator control up to the complete integration of an Iron Bird in the next generation of System Integration Labs. Join this webcast to learn how you can combine the advantages of COTS hardware, deterministic buses, simulation models and Graphical System Design to design, prototype and deploy the next generation of Avionics Systems.
11.30-12.00 AFDX/ ARINC664 Switch and End System Compliance Testing
Joachim Schuler, Managing Director, AIM GmbH
Since AFDX/ ARINC664 gets widely used across further programs in aircraft industry, the development of corresponding equipment like AFDX/ ARINC664 Switches and End Systems becomes attractive for the equipment manufacturers. Since the necessary specifications are published as ARINC Standards, the approach offering an off-the-shelf testing solution with provisions for an efficient adaptation to the “Unit Under Test” specialities, turns out to be an attractive opportunity for test equipment suppliers. The paper will outline a flexible and powerful approach for testing AFDX/ ARINC664 Switches and End Systems against the ARINC664 Specification with a clearly structured Hardware and Software off- the-shelf solution.
12.00-12.30 Standardization of tester interfaces for electronic production
Guenter Seipolt, MIL/COM Consultant, MIC Mass Interface Connections GmbH
Telemetry
14.00-14.30 Digital Phosphor Technology boosts RF Signal Discovery and Analysis
DEAN MILES, GLOBAL BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT MANAGER, TEKTRONIX
Digital Phosphor Technology Boosts RF Signal Discovery and Analysis. The radio frequency (RF) spectrum is more chaotic than ever before, with more channels and increasingly complex signals crowding a limited frequency spectrum As new applications utilize wireless transmission ( especally in Aerospace and Defence Systems) and Digital RF systems proliferate, engineers need better tools to help them find and interpret intricate RF signal behaviors and interactions. Fortunately, Digital Phosphor technology, traditionally used in advanced oscilloscopes, has been applied to the RF domain and can now be found in preeminent real-time spectrum analyzers (RTSAs). In enabling users to view “live RF” signals, including radar, for the first time, Digital Phosphor technology provides unmatched insight into RF signal behavior. In fact, full-motion Digital Phosphor displays show signals and details that are completely missed by conventional spectrum analyzers and vector signal analyzers (VSAs), greatly accelerating the discovery and diagnosis of problems relating to time-variant RF signals.
14.30-15.00 The use of a Wireless Telemetry backbone in Aerospace Ground & Flight test applications
Brian Duffy, Global Application Engineering Manager, Honeywell
An overview of RF signal transfer technology, as it relates to transferring data from sensing devices on rotating equipment to stationary signal conditioning/data acquisition instrumentation. Systems can be constructed based on a wireless backbone that is modular and flexible, featuring induced powering of the sensing devices, and RF Modulation techniques to transmit and receive the sensor measurements.
