TAP-OMNI Antenna Coupler
Controlled Aircraft Testing. Without Over-the-Air Interference.
The TAP-OMNI Antenna Coupler provides a controlled RF coupling solution that isolates aircraft transponder, ADS-B, TACAN, and IFF system testing from live over-the-air transmissions, improving test reliability while minimizing interference with nearby aircraft and airport operations.
Designed for both military and commercial aviation maintenance environments, the TAP-OMNI enables fast, repeatable testing during flight line, hangar, depot, and production operations.
Compatible With
• SDR-OMNI / SDR-OMNI/MIL
• T-47/M5 Mode 5 Test Set
• TS-4530A Ramp Test Set
• AN/USM-708A Multifunction Test Set
• AN/USM-719A Multifunction Test Set
The latest TAP-OMNI software enhancements provide expanded compatibility with the newest Tel-Instrument multifunction avionics test platforms, protecting your investment while simplifying aircraft testing across multiple product families.
TAP-OMNI Features
The TAP-OMNI Antenna Coupler is designed to support controlled aircraft-on-ground testing by reducing live over-the-air RF transmission during SIF, encrypted IFF, ADS-B, TACAN, and transponder testing.
