The present document applies to VDB ground-air digital broadcast using Differential Eight Phase Shift Keying
(D8PSK) of Ground-Based Augmentation System GBAS, intended for channel increments of 25 kHz. The VDB system
provides data broadcast from ground based to aircraft systems, operating in the VHF band (108,000 MHz to
117,975 MHz). The scope of the present document is limited to ground based stations and is restricted to the civil use of
GBAS with horizontally polarized signals (GBAS/H).
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that "... Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it
both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference " [i.1].
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 RE Directive [i.1] as well as essential requirements under the SES Interoperability
Regulation 552/2004 [i.2] and related implementing rules and/or essential requirements under the EASA basic
regulation 216/2008 [i.6] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.
