Abstract

The present invention provides a test device and a method for carrying out a function test on a communication system. The test device contains a transmission path having at least one leaky line antenna arranged in the aircraft cabin, a control device coupled to the transmission path for feeding an HF signal at a predetermined power level into the leaky line antenna, and at least one measuring mechanism coupled at a predetermined coupling point to the transmission path to measure the power level of the HF signal at the coupling point and to transmit a result signal which depends on the measured power level via the leaky line antenna to the control device.
