Automatic Testing System for airborne communication equipments

An Automatic Testing System for airborne communication equipment is introduced in this paper. System hardware design is the embodiment of generalization, standardization and modularization designing ideas. The Modeling method is adopted in software architecture that accomplishes the generalization and expansibility of system. As the most important factor of ATS cost, TPS can be built automatically and be independent of instrument interchange. Fault diagnosis subsystem is an intelligent, learning and rule-based expert system. The system can perform automatic test and fault diagnosis of seven types of airborne communication equipments; it can also be applied to other communication equipments after proper adapter being completed.
