scope:

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 and is restricted to the civil use of GBAS with horizontally polarized signals (GBAS/H).

The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that "... Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference" [i.1].

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 Radio Equipment Directive [i.1] as well as essential requirements under the SES Interoperability Regulation 552/2004 [i.2] and related implementing rules and/or essential requirements under the EASA basic Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 [i.5] and Regulation (EC) No 1108/2009 [i.6] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.
