VHF air-ground Digital Link (VDL) Mode 2;Technical characteristics and methods of measurement for ground-based equipment;Part 1: Physical layer and MAC sub-layer
The present document applies to VDL Mode 2 ground-air digital communications using Differential Eight Phase Shift
Keying (D8PSK), intended for channel increments of 25 kHz. The VDL Mode 2 system provides data communication
exchanges between aircraft and ground-based systems. The scope of the present document is limited to ground-based
stations.
The present document provides functional specifications for ground-based radio equipment intended to be used for
ground-air data communications. The present document is derived from the following documents:
• Annex 10 of the ICAO Convention on International Civil Aviation [1].
• ED 92B [i.2]: "MOPS for an Airborne VDL Mode-2 Transceiver Operating in the frequency range
118-136.975 MHz" (2012), which specifies the airborne transceiver.
The present document consists of two parts:
• the first part provides functional specifications and test procedures for physical layer and MAC sub-layer;
• the second part provides functional specifications and test procedures for link and sub-network access layers.
Radijska oprema za digitalno povezavo VHF zrak-tla, 2. način - Tehnične karakteristike in merilne metode za talno opremo - 1. del: Fizična plast in podplast MAC
Ta dokument se uporablja za radijsko opremo za digitalno povezavo tla-zrak (VDL), 2. način, digitalnih komunikacij, ki uporabljajo diferencialno osemfazno premično šifriranje (D8PSK), namenjeno za kanalne priraste 25 kHz. Sistem VDL, 2. način, omogoča izmenjavo podatkovne komunikacije med letalskimi plovili in talnimi sistemi. Področje uporabe tega dokumenta je omejeno na zemeljske postaje.
Ta dokument določa funkcionalne specifikacije za talno radijsko opremo, namenjeno uporabi za podatkovne komunikacije tla-zrak. Ta dokument izhaja iz naslednjih dokumentov:
• Priloga 10 h Konvenciji o mednarodnem civilnem letalstvu organizacije ICAO[1];
• ED 92B [i.2]: »MOPS za VDL, 2. način, letalski oddajnik-sprejemnik, ki deluje v frekvenčnem razponu
118-136.975 MHz« (2012), ki določa letalski oddajnik-sprejemnik.
Ta dokument sestavljata dva dela:
• prvi del zagotavlja funkcionalne specifikacije in preskusne postopke za fizično plast in podplast MAC;
• drugi del zagotavlja funkcionalne specifikacije in preskusne postopke za plasti za povezavo in podomrežni dostop.
