The R&S
EVSG-K4 receives and analyzes VDB GBAS transmissions according to
ICAO AN10 Vol1 [3] and RTCA DO-246 [1]. Analysis includes physical measurement
values such as level, frequency or EVM. The results can be displayed or recorded. A
bitstream is also provided with each transmission (
burst
). The bitstream contains the
digital information required by a GPS receiver for its calculations. To display this infor-
mation in human-readable format, the bitstream needs to be interpreted as described
in the document.
The R&S
EVSG GBAS/SCAT-I option provides a special parser that transforms the
data efficiently, controlled by a set of XML files. The XML files contain the rules and
data definitions for conversion and are loaded during runtime. The converted, human-
readable data is then displayed in the "Message" view (see
You can edit the XML control files with any text editor to obtain specific outputs, for
example, or to accommodate the output to changes in the specifications. However, a
good knowledge of the ICAO AN10 Vol1 [3] and RTCA DO-217 [2] specifications is
essential to understand the transformation process.
The R&S
EVSG1000 provides a default set of XML files for an initial message type def-
inition. These files are stored internally on the instrument. You can export the files to a
USB storage device and import the customized files back to the R&S
EVSG1000 (see
To customize the "Message" view results
1. Connect a USB storage device to the R&S
EVSG1000.
2. Select [Config] > "Export xml".
The required file structure and files are stored on the storage device.
3. Edit the files as required. See the descriptions below for more information.
4. Select [Config] > "Import xml".
The edited files are stored on the R&S
EVSG1000.
5. Select [Config] > "DEC DEF" > "Custom".
The R&S
EVSG1000 decoder uses the edited, imported message definition and
displays the defined results in the "Message" view.
