DESCRIPTION AND LEADING PARTICULARS
1-2. This handbook contains the theory of operation
and maintenance of Signal Generator SC-13/ARN (fig-
1-6. The signal generator is supplied in
two cases.
Case 1 contains all equipment necessary for opera-
tion within 10 feet of the receiver under test and the
power source. Case 2 contains additional equipment
necessary for operation within 85 feet of the receiver
1-4. The signal generator is a
portable test instru-
under test and the power source. Table I lists all
ment for ramp testing of aircraft navigation, local-
e q u i p m e n t supplied as part of Signal Generator
izer and glide slope receivers.
