26、aseband characteristics that are not described in this section depend almost entirely on the characteristics of the DBS tuner unit in the receiver under test. Therefore, the results of measurements on the unit, made according to part 2 of IEC 1079, can be applied. 4.1 Sensitivity 4.1 .l Introduction

27、 This test measures the signal-to-noise ratio of a video signal at various input signal levels. NOTE - This method gives sensitivity lower than that under actual receiving conditions, because the noise temperature of the signal source is higher than that in the reception of satellite signals. The di

28、fference between the sensitivity obtained by this method and that in the reception of satellite signals under the clear sky condition is usually 2,4 dB to 2.7 dB, which depends upon the noise figure of the receiver under test and the noise temperature of the receiving antenna. 4.1.2 Method of measur

29、ement Measurement shall be made under the following conditions and procedure. Arrangement of the test equipment is shown in figure 2. 4.1.2.1 Measuring conditions a) Test channel: the centre channel in the satellite broadcast band. b) Test signal level: -90 to -70 dB (mW) in 2 dB steps for direct si

30、gnal input; -114 to -94 dB (W/I#) in 2 dB steps for radiated signal input. c) Test video signal: 50 % grey level signal d) Other conditions: standard measuring conditions (see 3.5).

In the Digital sub-carrier/NTSC system, also note the amplitude at which truncation noise is just perceptible in

40、nse 4.3.1 Introduction This test measures response of unwanted signals, excluding those in co-channels, or in adjacent, next adjacent and image channels. It also checks internally generated interference. The measurement is made by applying the wanted and unwanted signals to the receiver under test s

41、imultaneously and measuring the level of the unwanted signal relative to that of the wanted signal to give just perceptible interference on the picture. 4.3.2 Method of measurement Measurement shall be made under the following conditions and procedure.

43、input. less than -40 dB (mW) for direct signal input; less than -64 dB (W/m2) for radiated signal input. Unwanted signal: CENELEC EN*bL079-3 93 3404583 OL59L78 84b Page 12 EN 61079-3 : 1993 d) Test video signal: Wanted signal: Vertical Interval Reference (VIR) signal for Digital sub-carrier/NTSC and
