Sartech BT100S

Sartech BT100S Palmtop Beacon Tester

The BT100 series is a complete measurement solution. Measures all Cospas-Sarsat frequency channels and decodes all Cospas-Sarsat protocols. Measures 406 MHz parameters, 121.5 MHz parameters, along with graphic displays of the 406 MHz power during the burst, the 406 MHz phase modulation, and the in-band 406 MHz frequency spectrum. The internal TCXO allows for a frequency measurement accuracy of +/- 100 Hz, or connect an external 10 MHz reference for a very accurate frequency measurement. Let the internal antenna receive the transmitting beacon signal from very close, to a distance greater than 10 metres, or use the direct coax input connection to measure 5W directly from the beacon (no attenuator required!). Automatically saves all measurements in an easy-to-use file system.

Features of the BT100S

• Measures Frequency Stability in accordance to C/S T.007
• User can enter the duration of Stability test
• You can monitor measurement results during the Stability test
• Creates a delimited text file so you can import all measured data into your favourite application for analysis or graphing
• Delimited text file produces data at each burst. Data includes: Date & Time of burst, burst number, 15 HEX ID, Full HEX, 406 Power, S1, S2, S3, Repetition Period, Nominal Frequency, Short Term Stability, Medium Term Mean Slope, and Medium Term Residual.
• Delimited text file includes raw frequency measurement data S1, S2, and S3 as defined by C/S T.007 - ideal for development and troubleshooting!
• User supplies a stable 10MHz Reference Signal (why pay for and maintain yet another stable frequency source when you already have one?)
• Excellent accuracy: +/- 2.5E-11
• Pre-qualify your own new beacon designs before submitting to the test lab!
