The product documentation helps you use the product safely and efficiently. Fol-
low the instructions provided here and in the following chapters.
Intended use
The R&S EVSF1000 is a level and modulation analyzer intended for installation in
flight inspection aircraft. It performs measurements on instrument landing sys-
tems (ILS), ground-based augmentation systems (GBAS), very high frequency
omnidirectional range (VOR) and marker beacon ground stations. It analyzes air
traffic control communications (ATC COM) signals measured during startup,
maintenance and servicing. The instrument’s mechanical and electrical design
and high sensitivity make it ideal for state-of-the-art flight inspection.
Use the product only for its designated purpose. Observe the operating conditions
and performance limits stated in the data sheet.
Target audience
The R&S EVSF1000 and its documentation is targeted at air navigation service
providers (ANSP), ground inspection service providers, national authorities for air
traffic control, and manufacturers and airport technicians for ILS, GBAS and VOR
ground equipment. Users require basic knowledge of ILS, GBAS and VOR
ground equipment, as well as the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)
specifications in document 8071, annex 10.
