A vestigial-sideband (VSB) demo

32、dulator is a measuring instrument for assessing the performance characteristics of television transmitters, for which the method of measurement is described in IEC244-5. The measuring arrangement and the method of measurement for the VSB demodulator is therefore in most cases identical with that in

33、IEC244-5, with the understanding that the television transmitter is replaced by a high-quality, double-sideband (DSB) modulator which is capable of delivering test signals suitable for measuring an instrument which is significantly better in performance than a television transmitter. Therefore, for

34、most measurements, reference is made toIEC 244-5. A number of measurements, using radio-frequency generators to simulate vision and sound carriers and sideband signals, are fully described in this standard. 1 Scope This part of IEC244 is intended to be used for type tests and acceptance or factory t

35、ests and may be used to check the characteristics of a demodulator used for measuring television transmitters and transposers. It is not mandatory to measure all the described characteristics. Additional measurements may be carried out by agreement between customer and manufacturer. Measuring perfor

36、mance characteristics in accordance with this standard, makes the comparison of the results of measurements, made by different observers, possible. Limit values for acceptable performance are not normally specified, but, in connection with the presentation of measured characteristics, some figures c

37、an be given for the sake of clarity. 2 Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this part of IEC244.

44、ial-sideband demodulator, sometimes referred to as a “Nyquist demodulator”, is used in this standard to refer to that equipment with one or more radio-frequency inputs and with one or more demodulated video and audio outputs the demodulator shall include: a “zero carrier” reference pulse; true synch

45、ronous and envelope detection, switchable; in the case of synchronous detection, a quadrature video output;EN60244-8:1994 4 BSI 12-1999 a switchable “sound trap” and associated group delay correction filter (with the sound trap switched out, the phase/frequency characteristic shall be linear); indep

46、endent (direct) sound demodulation, and intercarrier sound demodulation may be used; in the case of multiple sound channels, a suitable demodulator and decoder, and analogue or digital sound outputs depending on the system concerned. 3.2 description of the television systems and other relevant infor

48、 the vision signal at the input of a demodulator for negative (or positive) modulation of the vision carrier is the r.m.s. voltage, expressed in mV or dB(mV), of a sinusoidal signal with an amplitude corresponding to the synchronizing pulse level (or white reference level) of that signal 3.3.4 input

A sufficient warm-up time, in accordance with the demodulator specification, shall be allowed before commencing measurements. T
