The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly, considering a) that digital audio and video broadcasting systems are being introduced p

10、rogressively; b) that administrations may set rules and/or licence conditions for the use of these systems; c) that the monitoring service may be tasked for the enforcement of these rules and/or licence conditions; d) that due to the complexity of these systems, guidance on measuring these systems i

11、s needed, recommends 1 that if a monitoring service has to measure the following parameters of digital broadcasting signals: frequency and bandwidth; power and field strength; extraction of transmitter identification and determination of type of service; sound and picture quality; quality of transmi

12、tted signal; coverage; RF channel characteristics; other technical parameters, these measurements should be carried out as described in Annex 1. *This Recommendation should be brought to the attention of Radiocommunication Study Group 6. 2 Rec. ITU-R SM.1682-1 Annex 1 1 Introduction This Recommendat

13、ion recommends a set of measurements to perform a variety of monitoring tasks related to these systems. The reasons for performing a specific measurement not only differ in a specific situation, but various administrations can also have unique applications for one or more of the described measuremen

14、ts. The mentioned measurements are as much as possible based on equipment already available at most monitoring stations. Where possible a reference to existing ITU-R Recommendations is made for each measurement. The measurements are grouped by their main purpose for measuring and presented in tabula
