Abstract :
VDL Mode E is a digital communications system proposed as a worldwide standard for replacement of the existing analog AM voice system used for VHF aeronautical communications. It provides a needed increase in voice channel capacity as well as offering a digital data link for CPDLC with the high integrity and low latency needed for time-critical ATC messages. This report summarizes results of measurements of proposed minimum requirements for an aeronautical receiver for VDL Mode E. A software defined radio (SDR) currently used in Commercial Air Transport communications was used for the tests
