Section Il. DESCRIPTION AND DATA
1-8. Purpose and Use
The test set is a bench test set which when used with an
oscilloscope and Test Set, Transponder Set
AN/APM-239 provides field personnel with the
capability to check, maintain, align and calibrate
transponder sets which meet the requirements of DOD-
AIMS 65-1000. The test set generates IFF interroga-
tions and transmits these signals at adjustable rf
power levels and adjustable prf to the transponder
under test. Two separate variable rf outputs are pro-
vided to test diversity type transponders, or the two rf
paths can be combined to test transponder ISLS
characteristics over the complete dynamic range of the
transponder. The rf reply from the transponder is
demodulated and can be analyzed for proper frequency,
power level, coding, pulse shape and pulse train spac-
ing. Mode 4 operation, including disparity conditions,
can be simulated. Facilities are included to test the
selectivity of the transponder received and suppres-
sion pulse circuits; and supply crystal controlled
markers to the oscilloscope. A self-test feature permits
isolation of failures to a printed circuit card and/or
module level using only the test set indicators and test
points.
1-9. Description
The test set generates the necessary signals to test
transponder sets and converts rf signals generated by
the transponder set into video signals which are ap-
plied to the oscilloscope for display. The test set con-
sists of the items listed in paragraph 1-12. All items of
the test set are described in the following sub-
paragraphs.
a. Test Set, Transponder TS-3395A/APM-305.
TS-3395A/APM-305 contains all the active circuits of
the test set. All circuits and their related components
are mounted on a common chassis, which is enclosed in
a dust cover. All connectors, controls, indicators, and
1.0 ampere fuse are located on the front panel. All con-
trols are directly calibrated. Two vertically positioned
handles, which act as guardrails, are located at the ex-
treme ends of the front panel. As indicator lamp indi-
cates that the test set is energized. A second indicator
indicates when the power supply fails. A meter is pro-
vided with dual calibration to measure rf peak power
and prf. The weight and overall dimensions of the test
set are listed in paragraph 1-12.
b. Test Set Cover MX-99441APM-305A. Test Set
Cover MX-9944/APM-305A (front panel cover) at-
taches to the front panel of the test set to protect it
when not in use. All accessories are within the front
panel cover. The front panel cover attaches to the test
set by four latches.
c. Power Cable Assembly. The three-conductor
power cable assembly connects the test set to a 115 vac
primary power source. One end of power cable assem-
bly has an MS3016E1OSL-3S connector. This connector
is to be connected to the test set POWER connector.
The other end of power cable assembly has a UP-131M
connector connected to the primary power source. The
ground pin of the connector is spring-loaded to the in-
