2、upplement 20 to ITU-T Series P Recommendations (Previously “CC ITT Recommendations”) FOREWORD The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of the International Telecom- munication Union. The ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions

3、and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Conference (WTSC), which meets every four years, established the topics for study by the ITU-T Study Groups which, in their turn, produce Recommendati

4、ons on these topics. Supplement 20 to ITU-T Series P Recommendations was prepared by the ITU-T Study Group XII (1988-1993) and was approved by the WTSC (Helsinki, March 1-12, 1993). NOTES 1 As a consequence of a reform process within the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the CCITT ceased

5、to exist as of 28 February 1993. In its place, the ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) was created as of 1 March 1993. Similarly, in this reform process, the CCIR and the IFRB have been replaced by the Radiocommunication Sector. In order not to delay publication of this Recommendati

6、on, no change has been made in the text to references containing the acronyms “CCITT, CCIR or IFRB” or their associated entities such as Plenary Assembly, Secretariat, etc. Future editions of this Recommendation will contain the proper terminology related to the new ITU structure. 2 In this Recommen

9、 P (03/93) i Supplement 20 EXAMPLES OF MEASUREMENTS OF HANDSET RECEIVE-FREQUENCY RESPONSES: DEPENDENCE ON EARCAP LEAKAGE LOSSES (Helsinki, 1993) (referred to in Series P Recommendations) 1 Introduction The subject of handset earcap leakage losses has been studied on and off for a quite considerable

10、time by many organizations. The liberalization of the telecom market as well as “innovative” handset designs have now made the leakage problem more acute, i.e. in terms of customer complaints. The information given in this supplement is aimed to give some instructive examples as general information

11、on the subject. 2 Examples of earcap leakage effects measured during telephone usage (real ears) Figure 1 shows the Sound Pressure Level (CLBSPL) measured at 20 persons ears: a) under normal usage; b) when the subjects were asked to obtain a good seal by pressing the receiver hard to the ear. The ha

12、ndsets were of a conventional design, i.e. using high acoustic impedance earphones, that were driven electrically with a signal having constant spectrum. Note the large spread between individuals! These data originate from an investigation made by Swedish Telecom in 1967 and may be found in referenc

13、e SI. Further real ear data may be found in 21, 121, 191. 3 Examples of earcap leakage effects measured with artificial ears Figure 2 shows receive-frequency response for a modern German handset telephone, sealed on the knife edge of the CCITT Type 1P.57 (IEC 318) artificial ear (-), on this ear mod

Neither of the leaks are recommended by CCITT, however the “German” one is presently used by the German Administration for regulatory purposes.
