VHF air-ground Digital Link (VDL) Mode 2;Technical characteristics and methods of measurement for ground-based equipment;Part 3: Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive

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, operating in the VHF band (117,975 MHz to 137,000 MHz).
The scope of the present document is limited to ground based stations.
NOTE 1: The VDL Mode 2 can be used as an Air/Ground sub-network of the Aeronautical Telecommunication
Network (ATN) using a band with AM(R)S spectrum allocation.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "... radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
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 R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
Compliance with relevant aviation regulations may also be required before equipment within the scope of the present
document can enter into service.

Radijska oprema za digitalno povezavo VHF zrak-tla, 2. način - Tehnične karakteristike in merilne metode za talno opremo - 3. del: Harmonizirani EN, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive R&TTE

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 letalskim plovilom in talnimi sistemi ter deluje v frekvenčnem pasu VHF (od 117975 MHz do 137000 MHz).
Področje uporabe tega dokumenta je omejeno na zemeljske postaje.
OPOMBA 1: Sistem VDL, 2. način, se lahko uporablja kot podomrežje zrak/tla aeronavtičnega telekomunikacijskega omrežja (ATN), ki uporablja pas z dodeljevanjem spektra AM(R)S.
Ta dokument zajema določbe člena 3(2) Direktive 1999/5/ES [i.2] (direktive R&TTE), ki določa, da »[...] mora biti radijska oprema skonstruirana tako, da učinkovito uporablja spekter, razporejen za prizemne/vesoljske radijske komunikacije in orbitalne vire, tako da ne pride do škodljivega motenja.«
Poleg tega dokumenta se za opremo na področju uporabe tega dokumenta uporabljajo tudi drugi standardi EN, ki določajo tehnične zahteve v zvezi z bistvenimi zahtevami iz drugih delov člena 3 direktive R&TTE.
OPOMBA 2: Seznam tovrstnih evropskih standardov je na voljo na spletnem mestu http://www.newapproach.org.
Skladnost z ustreznimi letalskimi predpisi je morda potrebna, preden se lahko oprema, zajeta v področje uporabe tega dokumenta, začne uporabljati.

1 Scope
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, operating in the VHF band (117,975 MHz to 137,000 MHz).
The scope of the present document is limited to ground based stations.
NOTE 1: The VDL Mode 2 can be used as an Air/Ground sub-network of the Aeronautical Telecommunication
Network (ATN) using a band with AM(R)S spectrum allocation.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that ". radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
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 R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
Compliance with relevant aviation regulations may also be required before equipment within the scope of the present
document can enter into service.
