Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) VHF ground-air Data Broadcast (VDB); Technical characteristics and methods of measurement for ground-based equipment; Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (V1.1.1)
"The present document applies to VDB ground-air digital broadcast using Differential Eight Phase Shift Keying (D8PSK) of Ground-Based Augmentation System GBAS@ intended for channel increments of 25 kHz. The VDB system provides data broadcast from ground based to aircraft systems@ operating in the VHF band (108@000 MHz to 117@975 MHz). The scope of the present document is limited to ground based stations. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (RTTE Directive)@ article 3.2@ which states that ""... radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference"". In addition to the present document@ other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the RTTE Directive [i.1] as well as essential requirements under the Single European Sky Interoperability Regulation [i.2] (as amended) and related implementing rules may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. The scope of the present document is restricted to the civil use of GBAS with horizontally polarized signals (GBAS/H)."
