General 1 1 Scope This standard refers specifically to mobile radio receivers having audio-frequency bandwidths generally not exceeding 10 kHz for the reception of voice
27、 and other types of signals, using: a) angle modulation frequency modulation (F3E)/phase modulation (G3E), or b) double-sideband amplitude modulation with full carrier (A3E). This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC Publication 60489-1. The supplementary terms and definitions and
28、 the conditions of measurement set forth in this standard are intended for type tests and may also be used for acceptance tests. 2 Object The object of this standard is to standardize the definitions, the conditions and the methods of measurement used to ascertain the performance of receivers within
29、 the scope of this standard and to make possible a meaningful comparison of the results of measurements made by different observers and on different equipment.2 blankBS 6160-3:1990 BSI 10 May 2002 3 Section 2. Supplementary definitions and conditions of measurement 2 3 Supplementary terms and defini
30、tions For the purpose of this standard, the following supplementary terms and definitions apply. 3.1 Output level 3.1.1 rated output level the level, as defined in the equipment specifications, corresponding to: the power at the audio output terminals when these are connected to a specified load; or
31、 the voltage appearing across the output transducer; or the sound pressure; in the absence of a value specified by the manufacturer, the rated output level is 3 dB below the maximum output level 3.1.2 reference output level a) where there is a continuously variable gain control, the reference output
32、 level is that which is 6 dB below the rated output level; b) where there is step-by-step output control, the reference output level is that which is closest to the level defined in step a) above; c) where there is no gain control, the reference output level is the level obtained when the standard i
33、nput signal is applied to the receiver. 3.2 Audio-frequency load For equipment with an integral audio-frequency output transducer, the load is the output transducer. The manufacturer shall specify the method of connection and state the impedance (and tolerance) of the output transducer at 1 000 Hz.
34、It is desirable also to state the impedance at specified upper and lower audio-frequency band limits. 3.2.1 audio-frequency test load an impedance network which replaces the load to which the receiver is connected under normal operating conditions. It simulates the impedance of the normal load and a
35、ny cables with which it is normally used. The network shall be specified by the manufacturer. It usually consists of a single pure resistance. 3.3 standard signal-to-noise ratio ratio of: the power of the signal-plus-noise-plus-distortion; to the power of the noise-plus-distortion at the test load;
36、this ratio is abbreviated as: it is expressed in decibels and is often referred to as SINAD the value of the standard signal-to-noise ratio is 12 dB the standard signal-to-noise ratio allows comparison between different equipment when the standard test modulation is used NOTE Other types and values
37、of signal-to-noise ratio may be used by agreement between the purchaser and the manufacturer. where S is the wanted audio-frequency signal due to standard test modulation; N is the noise with standard test modulation; D is the distortion with standard test modulation;BS 6160-3:1990 4 BSI 10 May 2002
38、 Section 2 3.4 radiation sensitivity of a receiver with an integral antenna, in a given direction (field strength) the field strength required to produce the standard signal-to-noise ratio under specified conditions of operation NOTE 1 An integral antenna is an antenna which is considered to be an i
39、ntegral part of the equipment. In some cases the receiver operates with the antenna inside the housing and in others with the antenna mounted on the exterior of the housing. NOTE 2 For certain applications another characteristic, for example the squelch opening level, may be specified. NOTE 3 In thi
40、s publication, the term “antenna” is synonymous with “aerial”. 3.5 de-emphasis the process intended to restore the original form of a signal which has been transmitted with pre-emphasis NOTE Pre-emphasis may be applied before modulation. 3.6 modulation depth for double-sided amplitude modulation, th
41、e modulation depth, in percent, is given by the following: 4 Standard test conditions Unless otherwise stated, measurements shall be performed under the general test conditions given in IEC Publication 489-1 and the supplementary test conditions described below. 5 Supplementary test conditions 5.1 I

45、 Figure 1) when the input-signal source impedance (R s ) is equal to the nominal radio-frequency input impedance (R n ) of the receiver. Alternatively, the input signal may be expressed as the matched-load voltage (V ml ) measured across an impedance having a value equal to R n , when the source imp
46、edance (R s ) is equal to the nominal radio-frequency input impedance (R n ). The matched-load voltage (V ml ) is equal to one-half the value of the e.m.f. When the meter that indicates the value of e gis not in close proximity to the receiver input terminals, the transmission line loss shall be tak

The inpu
48、t-signal source shall consist of a radio-frequency signal generator, a transmission line, and an impedance-matching network (pad) placed as close as possible to the receiver under test (see Figure 1, page 4). 5.1.2 Input-signal source receivers tested with the aid of an artificial antenna This sub-c
49、lause is applicable to receivers intended to operate with an antenna having a complex impedance. The input-signal source shall consist of a radio-frequency signal generator, a transmission line, an impedance matching network and an artificial antenna. The characteristics of the artificial antenna shall be specified by the manufacturer of the receiver. 5.2 Input-signal level In this standard, the input-signal level of the wanted and unwanted signals is the r.m.s. voltage of the unmodulated car
