Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Radio Equipment and
Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
Transposition dates
Date of adoption: 28 February 1997
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 30 June 1997
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 31 December 1997
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 December 1997
Introduction
This ETS states the minimum performance requirements for radio transmitters and receivers at
aeronautical stations of the aeronautical mobile service operating in the VHF band (118 MHz - 137 MHz),
using Double Sideband Amplitude Modulation with 8,33 kHz channel spacing.
This ETS may be used by accredited test laboratories for the assessment of the performance of the
equipment. The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative for the
performance of the corresponding production model.
This ETS has been written on the assumption that:
- the type test measurements will be performed only once, in one of the accredited test laboratories
and the measurements accepted by the various authorities in order to grant type approval;
- if equipment available on the market is required to be checked it will be tested in accordance with
the methods of measurement specified in this ETS.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) states the minimum performance requirements for
radio transmitters and receivers at ground-based aeronautical stations operating in the VHF band
(118 MHz - 137 MHz) allocated to the aeronautical mobile service. The allotment of 8,33 kHz channels in
the VHF band has been decided by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and may be found
in ICAO Annex 10 Volume V [3].
This ETS applies only to Double Side Band (DSB) Amplitude Modulation (AM) systems, with channel
separations of 8,33 kHz intended for analogue speech. Offset carrier operation is not intended in a
8,33 kHz channel separation environment. A system can exist of a combination of the single transmitter or
a single receiver or a transceiver. The scope of this ETS is limited to ground base stations, and excludes
ground mobile and handportable stations.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent references to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.
[1] ICAO Annex 10 Volume III Part 2 (1996): "Voice Communication Systems".
[2] ETR 028: "Radio Equipment and Systems (RES); Uncertainties in the
measurement of mobile radio equipment characteristics".

Page 9ETS 300 676: March 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) states the minimum performance requirements forradio transmitters and receivers at ground-based aeronautical stations operating in the VHF band(118 MHz - 137 MHz) allocated to the aeronautical mobile service. The allotment of 8,33 kHz channels inthe VHF band has been decided by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and may be foundin ICAO Annex 10 Volume V [3].This ETS applies only to Double Side Band (DSB) Amplitude Modulation (AM) systems, with channelseparations of 8,33 kHz intended for analogue speech. Offset carrier operation is not intended in a8,33 kHz channel separation environment. A system can exist of a combination of the single transmitter ora single receiver or a transceiver. The scope of this ETS is limited to ground base stations, and excludesground mobile and handportable stations.2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference provisions from other publications. These normativereferences are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. Fordated references, subsequent references to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETSonly when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of thepublication referred to applies.[1]ICAO Annex 10 Volume III Part 2 (1996): "Voice Communication Systems".[2]ETR 028: "Radio Equipment and Systems (RES); Uncertainties in themeasurement of mobile radio equipment characteristics".[3]ICAO Annex 10 Volume V (1996): "Aeronautical Radio Frequency SpectrumUtilization".[4]ITU-T Recommendation P.53: "Psophometer for use on telephone-type circuits".3Definitions, abbreviations and symbols3.1DefinitionsFor the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:Types of measurements:conducted measurements: Measurements which are made using a direct RF connection to theequipment under test.radiated measurements: Measurements which involve the measurement of a radiated field.aeronautical mobile service: A mobile service between aeronautical stations and aircraft stations, orbetween aircraft stations, in which survival craft stations may participate. Emergency position-indicatingradio beacon stations may also participate in this service on designated distress and emergencyfrequencies.Type of station:aeronautical station: A land station in the aeronautical mobile service.ground base station: Aeronautical station equipment fitted with an external 50 W antenna socket orconnector, for use with an external antenna and intended for use at a fixed location.SIST ETS 300 676 E1:2003
