Foreword

This draft Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic

compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote

phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval Procedure.

The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.2] to

provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation

of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing

Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1].

Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with

the normative clauses of the present document given in Table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present

document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated

EFTA regulations.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering ATC Secondary Surveillance Radar systems for

civil air navigation operating in the frequencies 1 030 MHz and 1 090 MHz, as identified below:

Part 1: "SSR Interrogator";
Part 2: "Far Field Monitor (FFM)".
Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard

Introduction

The SSR system provides ground-based surveillance of transponder fitted aircraft and in addition may allow data link

communication between ground stations and aircraft, where both are fitted with appropriate equipment.

Secondary Radar surveillance is exploited through two essential elements: the SSR interrogator, normally

ground-based, and the aircraft SSR transponder. When aircraft are within the antenna beam of the ground station, its

interrogations elicit replies from transponders.

Civil use systems have different modes of interrogation/reply: Mode A, Mode C, Mode S and intermode. Mode A,

Mode C and Intermode interrogations consist of pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) signals, Mode-S interrogations have

an additional pulse, with differential phase keying (DPSK) modulation.

Ground stations will be either Mode A/C ground stations, which can interrogate and receive replies on Mode A/C only,

or Mode S ground stations, for which the present standard founds its applicability, which can interrogate and receive

replies on all modes. On the other side, there are two classes of transponders: Mode A/C transponders, which can

respond to Mode A, Mode C and Intermode interrogations only, and Mode S transponders, which can respond to all

modes. Mode-S interrogation/replies have different data block depending on the information they have to support.

As far as Mode S is concerned, for the purpose of the present document it is assumed that the SSR can transmit

interrogations at least in the uplink formats (UF) UF11, UF4 and UF5 and can process replies in the downlink formats

(DF) DF11, DF4, DF20, DF5 and DF21.

The replies to all modes of interrogation are used to determine aircraft 2D position by measurement of the range and

bearing of the reply. The performance towards the radar parameters are determined on the basis of the number of

correct and validated replies received and decoded, in the operating environment.

Performances are affected by interference effects, which can result in a degradation of the signal causing lost or wrong

information. RF signals on either uplink or downlink can be distorted by other overlapping RF signals, which can make

correct decoding of wanted signals impossible. The degree of degradation is a function of the channel loading.

The SSR system requires a 3 dB receiver bandwidth of approximately 8 MHz centered on 1 030 MHz and 1 090 MHz

for the airborne transponder and ground SSR receiver respectively. This bandwidth is sufficient to permit significant

co-channel interference from transmitters operating on adjacent frequencies.

This interference can be minimized by ensuring adequate frequency or spatial separation between the interfering

transmitters and the SSR receivers. In this specific case, two air traffic service systems, DME and p

Foreword

This draft Harmonised European Standard (EN) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic

compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the combined Public Enquiry and Vote

phase of the ETSI standards EN Approval Procedure.

The present document has been prepared under the Commission's standardisation request C(2015) 5376 final [i.2] to

provide one voluntary means of conforming to the essential requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU on the harmonisation

of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing

Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1].

Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with

the normative clauses of the present document given in Table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present

document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated

EFTA regulations.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering ATC Secondary Surveillance Radar systems for

civil air navigation operating in the frequencies 1 030 MHz and 1 090 MHz, as identified below:

Part 1: "SSR Interrogator";
Part 2: "Far Field Monitor (FFM)".
Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard

Introduction

The SSR system provides ground-based surveillance of transponder fitted aircraft and in addition may allow data link

communication between ground stations and aircraft, where both are fitted with appropriate equipment.

Secondary Radar surveillance is exploited through two essential elements: the SSR interrogator, normally

ground-based, and the aircraft SSR transponder. When aircraft are within the antenna beam of the ground station, its

interrogations elicit replies from transponders.

Civil use systems have different modes of interrogation/reply: Mode A, Mode C, Mode S and intermode. Mode A,

Mode C and Intermode interrogations consist of pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) signals, Mode-S interrogations have

an additional pulse, with differential phase keying (DPSK) modulation.

Ground stations will be either Mode A/C ground stations, which can interrogate and receive replies on Mode A/C only,

or Mode S ground stations, for which the present standard founds its applicability, which can interrogate and receive

replies on all modes. On the other side, there are two classes of transponders: Mode A/C transponders, which can

respond to Mode A, Mode C and Intermode interrogations only, and Mode S transponders, which can respond to all

modes. Mode-S interrogation/replies have different data block depending on the information they have to support.

As far as Mode S is concerned, for the purpose of the present document it is assumed that the SSR can transmit

interrogations at least in the uplink formats (UF) UF11, UF4 and UF5 and can process replies in the downlink formats

(DF) DF11, DF4, DF20, DF5 and DF21.
The replies to all modes of interrogation are used to
