3.1.3 General definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in the R&TTE Directive [i.3] and the
following apply:
adjacent channel power: amount of the modulated RF signal power which falls within a given adjacent channel
NOTE: Adjacent channel power includes discrete spurious, signal sidebands, and noise density (including phase
noise) at the transmitter output.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B): surveillance application transmitting parameters, such as
position, track and ground speed, via a broadcast mode data link for use by any air and ground users requiring it
NOTE: ADS-B is a surveillance service based on aircraft self-determination of position/velocity/time and
automatic, periodic or random, broadcast of this information along with auxiliary data such as aircraft
identity (ID), communications control parameters, etc. ADS-B is intended to support multiple high-level
applications and associated services such as cockpit display of traffic information, traffic alert and
collision avoidance functionality, enhanced traffic management in the air and on the ground, search and
rescue support and others.
Bit Error Rate (BER): ratio between the number of erroneous bits received and the total number of bits received
data rate: maximum amount of data that can be transmitted in a specified amount of time, typically expressed as bits
per second
NOTE: The nominal data rate for VDL Mode 4 is 19 200 bits/s.
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment within the scope of the present
document is required to comply with the provisions of the present document
ground base station: aeronautical station equipment, in the aeronautical mobile service, for use with an external
antenna and intended for use at a fixed location
integral antenna equipment: radio communications equipment with an antenna integrated into the equipment without
the use of an external connector and considered to be part of the equipment
NOTE: An integral antenna may be internal or external to the equipment. In equipment of this type, a 50 Ω RF
connection point is provided for test purposes.
non-integral antenna equipment: radio communications equipment with a connector intended for connection to an
antenna
reference signal level: signal level used in the receiver performance specifications except otherwise stated
station: VDL Mode 4 Specific Services (VSS)-capable entity
NOTE: A station may be either a mobile station or a ground station. A station is a physical entity that transmits
and receives bursts over the RF interface (either A/G or A/A) and comprises, at a minimum: a physical
layer, media access control sublayer, and a unique VSS address. A station which is also a DLS station has
the same address.

3.1.3 General definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in the R&TTE Directive [i.3] and the
following apply:
adjacent channel power: amount of the modulated RF signal power which falls within a given adjacent channel
NOTE: Adjacent channel power includes discrete spurious, signal sidebands, and noise density (including phase
noise) at the transmitter output.
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B): surveillance application transmitting parameters, such as
position, track and ground speed, via a broadcast mode data link for use by any air and ground users requiring it
NOTE: ADS-B is a surveillance service based on aircraft self-determination of position/velocity/time and
automatic, periodic or random, broadcast of this information along with auxiliary data such as aircraft
identity (ID), communications control parameters, etc. ADS-B is intended to support multiple high-level
applications and associated services such as cockpit display of traffic information, traffic alert and
collision avoidance functionality, enhanced traffic management in the air and on the ground, search and
rescue support and others.
Bit Error Rate (BER): ratio between the number of erroneous bits received and the total number of bits received
data rate: maximum amount of data that can be transmitted in a specified amount of time, typically expressed as bits
per second
NOTE: The nominal data rate for VDL Mode 4 is 19 200 bits/s.
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment within the scope of the present
document is required to comply with the provisions of the present document
ground base station: aeronautical station equipment, in the aeronautical mobile service, for use with an external
antenna and intended for use at a fixed location
integral antenna equipment: radio communications equipment with an antenna integrated into the equipment without
the use of an external connector and considered to be part of the equipment
NOTE: An integral antenna may be internal or external to the equipment. In equipment of this type, a 50 Ω RF
connection point is provided for test purposes.
non-integral antenna equipment: radio communications equipment with a connector intended for connection to an
antenna
reference signal level: signal level used in the receiver performance specifications except otherwise stated
station: VDL Mode 4 Specific Services (VSS)-capable entity
NOTE: A station may be either a mobile station or a ground station. A station is a physical entity that transmits
and receives bursts over the RF interface (either A/G or A/A) and comprises, at a minimum: a physical
layer, media access control sublayer, and a unique VSS address. A station which is also a DLS station has
the same addr
