Universal Wireless Tester
Precise and Scalable Test Systems
for Demanding Avionics Applications
In the Aviation Industry
Testing systems for navigation, communication, and flight control applications places exceptionally high demands on test equipment. Measurements must be precise and reproducible, while test systems need to be reliable, flexible, and designed for long-term operation. Organizations across the aviation industry face the challenge of efficiently expanding and standardizing their test capabilities for a wide range of avionics applications.
NOFFZ has developed test systems for the validation of various devices under test (DUTs). A standardized and scalable system architecture enables a wide range of testing tasks to be performed within a unified test environment. The systems combine high measurement accuracy, reliability, and flexibility to meet the requirements of modern avionics applications while supporting reliable long-term testing.
In addition, the systems are designed for exceptionally quiet operation and feature a fully enclosed design. Depending on the application, they can be used either as standalone solutions or as extensions of higher-level test systems. This flexibility enables seamless integration into existing test environments and supports efficient adaptation to changing test requirements.
The NOFFZ rack solutions combine high technical performance with practical integration into the working environment. With a noise level of less than 55 dBA, the systems are designed to operate directly within standard working areas and in close proximity to operating personnel.
The NOFFZ Solution
Multiple NI PXIe chassis enable the integration of test equipment from NI and Pickering.
A specially developed drawer solution, combined with a customized VPC-G20x interface, ensures that all relevant components remain easily accessible, simplifying operation as well as maintenance and modification tasks. The systems are complemented by a NOFFZ PDU featuring a programmable sequential power-up process for individual slots, enabling a controlled system start-up.
The development of these rack solutions highlights NOFFZ’s expertise in the design, integration, and scaling of complex test systems for demanding avionics applications. By leveraging standardized components, NOFFZ created a flexible test platform that combines high measurement accuracy, reliable long-term testing, and easy expandability within a single system. The modular architecture supports a broad range of testing requirements while enabling future adaptations to be implemented efficiently. The standardized VPC interface provides a high channel count and supports multiple connector types, including high-speed, RF, and high-power/current modules. Depending on the test application, suitable adapters can be connected to interface with different DUTs.
The standardized system design supports the creation of scalable test environments and simplifies the integration of additional test stations as well as future testing requirements. Standardized components and interfaces help reduce maintenance and integration effort, while the modular architecture enables existing test capacities to be expanded and adapted as requirements evolve.
With these solutions, NOFFZ demonstrates how high measurement accuracy, reliable long-term testing, low noise emissions, and a modular system architecture can be combined within a powerful test platform. The combination of engineering expertise, the standardized NOFFZ Universal Tester Platform, customized system integration, and reliable project execution enables the development of future-ready test solutions for demanding avionics applications.
