THE ATS-9000M

YOUR ALL-IN-ONE TOOL FOR RADIO AND INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTICS

The ATS-9000M from Astronics Test Systems is the latest innovation in Land Mobile Radio testing, setting a new standard for performance and convenience. Featuring a vibrant 10.1” touch-screen display, this intuitive LMR test instrument is powered by advanced processors, enhanced RF components, and a responsive, updated OS.


The ATS-9000M includes a Two-Port and One-Path Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) for precise RF network measurements like Cable Loss and Insertion Loss. With support for all protocols, it also features improved Spectrum Analyzer, FM, and P25 performance. Its lightweight design makes it easy to carry, providing all the essential tools for both field and bench radio servicing in one portable device, consolidating every critical function into one compact, rugged system.

PORTABILITY

Every ATS-9000M ships with a Lithium Ion battery weighing just one pound (490g). The battery powers the unit for well over 90 minutes, and is field swappable in less than 30 seconds. Just open the cover, remove the battery, and insert another into the side of the unit. While on AC power, the ATS-9000M charges the internal battery and when AC power is removed, the unit seamlessly moves from AC to DC without interruption. The ATS-9000M display shows available battery capacity at all times. Spare batteries and a stand-alone charger can also be purchased for applications requiring extended portability.

FEATURES

Our proprietary “Dual-Display,” showing the carrier and modulation scope on the same screen is included as a standard feature with every ATS-9000M, as is a tracking generator and cable fault locator. The ATS-9000M has the ability to select the power meter scale in bar graph mode: choose from 5, 50 or 150W. Finally, the ATS-9000M offers the ability to display menu selections in French and Spanish.

TWO-PORT, ONE-PATH VECTOR NETWORK ANALYZER

With an included Two-Port, One-Path Vector Network Analyzer, perform precise RF network measurements like Cable Loss and Insertion Loss without the need to carry additional equipment. Additional applications include: Insertion Loss vs Frequency, VSWR vs Frequency, Antenna Matching, Distance to Fault, and Cable Loss Measurement.

PREMIER

ERGONOMICS

The ATS-9000M features a color-enhanced, high-contrast display with key measurements shown in larger, bright blue font. It’s tuning knob also serves as a data-entry key, allowing the user to minimize the amount of hand movement required to navigate test procedures. It also sports a rugged, foldable metal handle and ear phone jack for use in high-noise environments.

SUPERIOR SPECTRUM ANALYZER

The ATS-9000M comes equipped with a superior spectrum analyzer with a noise floor well below -140 dBm at narrow spans, super-fast signal acquisition, 4 markers (2 standard), and an available variable vertical scale down to 1 dB per division.

EXPANDABLE AND UPGRADABLE

The software-based architecture of the ATS-9000M lets you add software options and upgrades in the field.
So if your needs change down the line, simply order the feature or protocol you need and enable it by entering a 16 digit option key.

LOW PHASE NOISE AND MONITOR & CONTROL INTERFACE

The M&C consists of proprietary commands as well as support of IEEE standard equipment ID query for automating manufacturing test processes and procedures. This, along with the exceptional phase noise performance of the signal generator, makes it suitable for manufacturing and other high-performance applications, enabling significant reductions in capital costs.
