The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the following equipment used in ground-based ATC Surveillance for civil air navigation:
• Wide Area Multilateration (WAM) systems with Mode S capabilities which may include Mode A/C,
transmitting at 1 030 MHz and at 1 090 MHz, and receiving at 1 090 MHz, used for air traffic control with or
without 1 090 MHz phase overlay.
The system operates in the frequencies as indicated in Table 1 below.
Table 1: WAM service frequencies
