Abstract

A practical VLF/LF radio test system designated as the AN/URM-212 Test-Set Radio is presented. The purpose of the AN/URM-212 is to verify the operational readiness of VLF/LF receive communication systems installed in submarines, US Navy aircraft, and tenders from antenna to printer. The AN/URM-212 tests processor-controlled VLF/LF receive components (e.g. VERDIN) in a quantitative manner and tests non-processor-controlled VLF/LF receive components (e.g. receivers, antennas and associated couplers) in a qualitative manner. It tests the receive components by measuring small performance degradations not discovered by automated performance monitoring, self-test or other preventive maintenance procedures
