FCC Certification Tests for the VHF-4000E Communications Transceiver




1. SCOPE

This report and its exhibits provide the information required by parts 2 and 87 of the FCC Rules and
Regulations for Certification of the transmitter portion of the VHF-4000E VHF Communications
Transceiver with Collins Part Number 822-1872-XXX. Collins Part Number for different status of the VHF-
4000E is defined in Table #1.

0XX      25 kHz Channel Spacing AM Voice Radio

1XX      8.33 kHz & 25 kHz Channel Spacing AM Voice Radio

2XX      Mode 2, Mode A Data Radio & 25 kHz Channel Spacing AM Voice Radio

3XX      Mode 2, Mode A Data Radio, 8.33 kHz & 25 kHz Channel Spacing Voice Radio

NOTE: XX INDICATES MODIFICATION STATUS

                                              TABLE #1


2. EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

The VHF-4000E VHF Transceiver is a solid state, AM transceiver designed to provide air-to-air or air-to-
ground AM voice or analog data communications in the 118.000 to 151.975 MHz Aeronautical
communications band. It operates in communications systems having 25 kHz or 8.33 kHz channel
spacing. In the range of 137.000 to 151.975 MHz the VHF-4000 operates as an AM voice only
transceiver with 25 kHz spacing. Transmissions on channels 137.000 through 138.000 MHz and 144.000
through 150.050 MHz are inhibited.

In addition to AM operation voice or analog data operation, the VHF-4000E will provide air-to-ground
packet digital data communications (VDL Mode 2) in the 118.000 to 136.975 MHz band in
communications systems having 25 kHz channel spacing.

The unit operates on 27.5 VDC and is packaged in an ARINC 600 standard 3 MCU configuration.


3. CERTIFICATION BASED ON SIMILARITY

The units tested were engineering units representative of production configurations of the VHF-4000,
Collins part number 822-1468-0XX which was previously submitted and approved with FCC ID
AJK8221468.       The VHF-4000E differs from the VHF-4000 in that software allows operation on
frequencies beyond 137.975 MHz to 151.975 MHz. Unless otherwise noted, all tests were conducted at
the Rockwell Collins Melbourne Design Center in Melbourne, Florida.
