Introduction
A-SMGCS are systems providing routing, guidance, surveillance and control to aircraft and affected vehicles in order to
maintain movement rate under all local weather conditions within the Aerodrome Visibility Operational Level (AVOL)
whilst maintaining the required level of safety.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following equipment:
1) Interrogators transmitting in the 1 030 MHz band, used in Mode S multilateration equipment in an Advanced
Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS).
2) Receivers, receiving in the 1 090 MHz band, used in Mode S multilateration equipment in an Advanced
Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (A-SMGCS).
Antennas for this equipment are passive without an additional amplifier.
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.
