Abstract
A series of flights were made to measure the characteristics of air-to-ground digital transmission in the VHF aeronautical mobile frequency band. Digital transmission rates of 2400 and 4800 bit/s were used with minimum shift keying (MSK) as the baseband modulation format. Signal level, signal fading, and radio horizon characteristics are described. Bit error rates and the causes of the errors also are discussed.
