26、ecommended methods of measurement for assessing the performance of radio transmitters. A number of the existing parts of IECPublication244 are currently under review and several of the older parts will be revised or withdrawn. When this process is complete, the overall publication will comprise one
27、part dealing with general characteristics, with cross-references to relevant CCIR publications and the Radio Regulations, and a number of specialist parts, each dealing with a particular type of transmitter. This new part, therefore, incorporates all recommended measurements for FM sound broadcastin
28、g transposers in a single publication and supersedes all clauses dealing with FM broadcasting transposers in the following publications: Publication 244-2, first edition, 1969 Publication 244-2A, first edition, 1969 Publication 244-2B, first edition, 1969 Publication 244-3, first edition, 1972 Publi
29、cation 244-3A, first edition, 1971 Publication 244-3B, first edition, 1972 Publication 244-4, first edition, 1973 1 Scope This standard applies to transposers, as defined inClause 3, operating in accordance with current CCIR Recommendation450 for FM sound broadcasting at VHF, including stereophony.
30、It also covers requirements for other multiplexed subcarrier services. 2 Object This standard lays down detailed methods of measurements, selected and recommended for assessing the essential performance and general characteristics of FM sound broadcasting transposers. It is not mandatory to measure
31、all the defined characteristics. Fewer or additional measurements may be appropriate. Any additional measurements should preferably be in accordance with relevant standards published by the IEC or by other international bodies. Limiting values for acceptable performance are not specified, as these a
32、re normally given in the equipment specification, or in requirements laid down by the responsible regulating bodies. This standard shall be used in conjunction with IECPublications244-1 and244-1A (now being revised) or, in due course, with the future edition replacing these publications. For guidanc
33、e on the information to be given in descriptive leaflets particular to the type of equipment considered in this standard, refer to the relevant sections of IEC Publication244-12. The methods of measurement described in this standard are intended for type tests but they may also be used for acceptanc
34、e tests and factory tests. (See IEC Publication244-1 for the meaning of these terms.) Section 1. General conditions of operation and measurement 3 Definition The term “FM sound broadcasting transposer” is used in this standard to refer to that equipment in an FM sound broadcasting relay station whic
35、h is connected between the feeder terminations of the receiving antenna and the transmitting antenna, and in which a frequency transposition is performed without demodulation. The majority of the measurements apply also to a receiver/transmitter combination. Any device for the suppression of unwante
36、d signals, irrespective of whether or not it is located inside the transposer, shall be considered to be part of the transposer for the purpose of this standard.EN60244-11:1993 4 BSI 02-2000 4 Input and output signal arrangement For the purpose of measurement, the transposer can be considered in ter
37、ms of input and output characteristics, and of transmission performance. Depending on the particular measurements, one of the three measuring arrangements described below may bc employed. Details of the arrangements arc given inFigure 1, Figure 2 andFigure 3. The modulating signals for the test tran
38、smitters inFigure 1 toFigure 3 shall be provided by: or more baseband (audio) signal generators, a high quality stereo coder of specified characteristics, auxiliary devices for the supplementary multiplexed subcarrier services, if required. All measurements concerning transmission performance are ca
39、rried out with baseband signals at the output of the test demodulator or, for some stereo tests, at the output of a high quality stereo decoder. Because the results of these measurements are critically dependent on the performance of the test equipment, it is necessary first to check the overall per
40、formance of the test equipment in the absence of the transposer. 5 General conditions regarding input signal source and test load 5.1 Input signal source The rated load impedance of the test transmitter shall be equal to the nominal input impedance of the transposer over the whole FM broadcasting ba
41、nd. 5.2 Test load The transposer shall be terminated with a test load, the impedance of which, expressed in terms of return loss relative to the nominal load impedance of the transposer, shall not be less than: 26dB at frequencies within the FM broadcasting band at the output of the transposer. 16dB
42、 at frequencies of any measured unwanted frequency outside this band. 5.3 Connection of measuring equipment to the transposer The preferred arrangement for the test load for low power transposers is an attenuator, the output of which is used to feed the radio-frequency test equipment. Alternatively,
43、 especially for high power transposers, the test equipment may be connected to the transposer output through a calibrated directional coupler or suitable matching network inserted in the line between the transposer and the test load. Any measuring instruments used at the input of the transposer are
44、connected to the input through a calibrated directional coupler or suitable matching network inserted in the line between the input signal source and the transposer. The terms “connected to the input” and “connected to the output” will hereafter be used for test equipment connected as described abov
45、e. 6 Terms and definitions for input and output signals 6.1 Test signals a) Monophonic signal The monophonic test input signal is a signal at the appropriate carrier frequency, modulated by the standard reference audio-frequency (k 1000Hz), with a specified frequency deviation. If required, other au
46、dio modulation frequencies may be chosen. b) Stereophonic signal The stereophonic input test signal is a signal at the appropriate carrier frequency modulated by a coded stereo (multiplex) signal in accordance with the standard concerned. The standard reference audio-frequency, k 1000Hz, shall be ap
47、plied to both left-hand channel A and right-hand channelB, or to one of them only, as required for each particular test. The frequency deviation for each component of the multiplex stereo signal shall be specified and shall comply with the standard concerned. When required, other audio modulating fr
48、equencies may be chosen.EN60244-11:1993 BSI 02-2000 5 c) Additional supplementary multiplexed subcarrier services When required, additional supplementary multiplexed subcarrier services, with specified characteristics, shall be introduced in the test signal. 6.2 Definitions relating to the transpose
49、r input signal a) Input voltage The r.m.s. voltage of a frequency modulated r.f. carrier at the input of the transposer expressed in 4V ordB(4V). b) Reference input level The reference input level for a monophonic or stereophonic input signal is60 dB(4V), i.e. 1mV. c) Input voltage range The input voltage range of a transposer is the range of input voltage within which the transposer performance specifications apply. 6.3 Definitions relating to the output signal a) Rated output power When the transposer is operating under specified con
