4 Observations and comments This report contains the results of tests of four different interferer to communication link configurations. 1. DSB-AM interferer to VDL mode 4 link.. Find below the information recorded for the labelling of each of the DSB -AM radio's radio which were used: Becker COMM 3200 system Serial number : 10200 LAB No. : 10.9111/76 FTZ No : LB 3939.83 TSO : C37c, C38c RTCA : DO 156 CL.C RTCA : DO 157 CL.4 RTCA : DO 160A FCC ID : 8548RSAR3201 ED14A Rockwell Collins VHF-700A PRN : 822-0693-020 Serial number : 12227 TSO : C37b, C38b FCC ID : AJK9URPN662-5219 DO-160-A : A2D2/JY Rockwell Collins VHF-2100E PRN : 822-2168-120 Serial number : 29PWD TSO : C128, C169 ETSO : 2C37e, 2C38e, 2C128 DO-160C : ENV CAT DO-178B : Level C/D 2. VDL mode 4 interferer to VDL mode 4 link This test was carried out by using two CNS Systems VDL4000 transceivers, one as the generator of the wanted signal and the other as the victim. The RC VHF-2120 was used to create the interferer.

Find below the information recorded for the labelling of each of the CNS Systems VDL4000 radio's radio which were used: CNS Systems VDL4000 Serial number : 1025 PN : 4000-10-10 Software : SW4000-10-3.8 This radio was used to send the wanted VDL4 signal. CNS Systems VDL4000 Serial number : 1047 PN : 4000-10-10 Software : SW4000-40-1.0 This radio was used as the victim. The test was also carried out, by using a CNS VDL4000 radio as the interferer and the RC VHF-2120 as the victim. The communication link with the victim was established by a vector signal generator, type Agilent E4438C. RC VHF-2120 (victim) Serial number : 277RF PN : 822-2224-001 3. VDL mode 4 interferer to VDL mode 2 link This test was carried out, by using a VDL2 test bench containing a VHF-920 and a VHF-2100E transceiver, the first as the generator of the wanted signal and the second as the victim. The RC VHF-2120 was used to create the interferer. Rockwell Collins VHF-2100E (victim) PRN : 822-2168-120 Serial number : 29PWD TSO : C128, C169 ETSO : 2C37e, 2C38e, 2C128 DO-160C : ENV CAT DO-178B : Level C/D

4. VDL mode 2 interferer to VDL mode 4 link This test was done, by using a RC VHF-2120 as an interferer and a RC VHF-2120 as a victim. The communication link with the victim was established by a vector signal generator, type Agilent E4438C. RC VHF-2120 (victim) Serial number : 277RF PN : 822-2224-001

Channel offset : N * 25 kHz, at 136 MHz the +40 channel was tested at +39 (136.975 MHz) Measurement uncertainty : +/- 1.6 dB The reported uncertainty is based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a

coverage factor of k=1.96 providing a level of confidence of 95%, but excluding the effect of measurement system repeatability.
