The R&S
EVSG-K4/-K5 options are firmware applications that add functionality to per-
form GBAS and SCAT-I analysis on the R&S
EVSG1000.
The R&S
EVSG-K4 option enables you to receive and analyze the very high frequency
(VHF) data broadcast (VDB) signal-in-space transmitted from a ground-based aug-
mentation system (GBAS) ground subsystem to the airborne subsystem. This imple-
mentation is in line with the specification ICAO AN10 Vol1 [3] and RTCA DO-246 [1]
(see
Similarly, using option R&S
EVSG-K5, data from special category I (SCAT-I) systems
can be received and analyzed. The main difference is the content of the message data.
This implementation is in line with the specification ICAO AN10 Vol1 [3] and RTCA
DO-217 [2] (see
The R&S
EVSG-K4/-K5 applications feature:
●
Receiving GBAS signal data from a GBAS ground station in a frequency range
between 108.025
MHz and 117.950
MHz with a channel spacing of 25
kHz
●
Receiving SCAT-I signal data from a SCAT-I ground station in a frequency range
between 108.025
MHz and 117.950
MHz with a channel spacing of 25
kHz
●
Analyzing the RF characteristics, signal strength and frequency accuracy of the
GBAS/SCAT-I signal
●
Demodulating, decoding and displaying GBAS/SCAT-I signal data
●
Analyzing up to 8 time slots or individual time slot details in the GBAS/SCAT-I sig-
nal data
●
Analyzing individual Final Approach Segment (FAS) data blocks
●
Logging and storing up to 9999 lists of received GBAS/SCAT-I signal data
We strongly recommend that you provide a PPS signal for reference. Without PPS
synchronization, signal timing and slot positions may not be correct.
