18、 in the availability of a wide range of audiometers. In addition it is possible to consider the audiometer in terms of a set of functional units that can be specified independently. By specifying these functional units it is then possible to specify the performance of other audiometric equipment tha
19、t uses these units. IEC 60645, Electroacoustics Audiometric equipment, consists of a number of parts. Part 3 covers the requirements for reference and other test signals of short duration. Examples of test methods, where such signals are commonly used, are the recording of brainstem evoked potential
20、s and evoked otoacoustic emissions. Reference signals are described in order to provide a basis for calibration and as a recommendation for use when there is no specific reason to have an alternative signal. The method of measurement of acoustic and vibratory signals is described. 4 EN 60645-3:2007E
21、LECTROACOUSTICS AUDIOMETRIC EQUIPMENT Part 3: Test signals of short duration 1 Scope This part of IEC 60645 specifies a means of describing the physical characteristics of audiometric reference and test signals of short duration and methods for their measurement. The object of this standard is to en
22、sure that audiometric stimuli of short duration are specified and measured in the same way and that the calibration of equipment using such signals is carried out using defined methods. This standard does not describe the method of use of short duration test signals. 2 Normative references The follo

28、200 ms 3.2 click transient acoustic or vibratory signal whose frequency spectrum covers a broad frequency range, produced by applying a single rectangular electrical pulse to the terminals of the transducer NOTE See Figures 1 and 2. 3.3 tone-burst sinusoidal signal having a duration of less than 200
29、 ms NOTE 1 Figure 3 shows a reference tone-burst (see 5.3). NOTE 2 A tone-burst is sometimes called a brief tone or a tone pip. 3.4 condensation signal short-duration signal, the initial sound pressure wave of which causes an over-pressure relative to ambient pressure, or the initial vibratory force
30、 wave of which causes an over-force relative to the static force at the plane of the output port of the transducer 3.5 rarefaction signal short duration signal, the initial sound pressure wave of which causes an under-pressure relative to ambient pressure, or the initial vibratory force wave of whic
31、h causes an under-force relative to the static force at the plane of the output port of the transducer 3.6 alternating polarity signal series of short-duration signals, consisting of rarefaction and condensation signals in alternating order 3.7 initial sound pressure or vibratory force wave of a cli
32、ck first half wave of sound pressure or vibratory force, the amplitude of which is larger than 0,5 times the amplitude of the next half wave with opposite polarity 3.8 duration of initial sound pressure or vibratory force wave of a click time interval between the two zero crossings of the initial so
33、und pressure or vibratory force wave 6 EN 60645-3:20073.9 duration of a tone-burst time interval between the half maximum amplitude points on the rising and falling portions of the envelope of the tone-burst NOTE See Figure 3 (key 4). 3.10 rise and fall times of a tone-burst time intervals between t
34、he 10 % and 90 % amplitude points of the rising portion and the 90 % and 10 % amplitude points on the falling portion of the envelope of the tone-burst NOTE See Figure 3 (keys 3 and 5). 3.11 peak-to-peak equivalent signal level r.m.s value of a long duration sinusoidal signal which, when compared un
35、der the same test conditions with a short duration output signal from the transducer under test, has the same peak-to-peak value (i.e. difference between the extreme positive and the extreme negative values) as the short duration signal NOTE 1 See Figure 2. NOTE 2 Both the short and the long duratio
36、n signals are measured by means of an ear simulator, or a free-field microphone, or a mechanical coupler, respectively. NOTE 3 For clicks, the long duration sinusoidal signal should have a frequency of 1 000 Hz, and for tone-bursts its frequency should equal the fundamental frequency of the tone-bur
37、st. NOTE 4 The equivalence in this definition is between two different signals. When short duration signals are standardised as sound pressure levels or vibratory force levels for hearing threshold purposes a further equivalence occurs (see 6.6) due to the method of measuring hearing thresholds and
38、storing the data from those measurements in an ear simulator, that is in terms of equivalent threshold vibratory force or sound pressure levels. NOTE 5 The term peak-to-peak equivalent signal level is often called peak equivalent signal level. NOTE 6 The peak level of a short duration signal is anyw
39、here between 3 dB and 9 dB greater than the peak-to-peak equivalent level, i.e. 3 dB when the signal is quite symmetrical around the zero baseline and 9 dB when it is completely on one side of the zero level. NOTE 7 The recommended abbreviations for peak-to-peak equivalent sound pressure level and v
40、ibratory force level are peSPL and peVFL. 7 EN 60645-3:20071 2100 s IEC 354/07Key 1 Level 2 Time Figure 1 Temporal characteristics of an electric reference pulse 1 2 IEC 355/07 Key 1 Level 2 Time Figure 2 Illustration of the method of measurement of peak-to-peak equivalent signal levels The left par

NOTE 2 The signal output of the transducer may vary considerably depending upon the type used. 9 EN 60645-3:20075.3 Reference tone-burst The reference ton

The tone-burst shall have 1,6 periods of rise and fall time, and duration of three periods as defined in Figure 3. NOTE 1,6 periods of linear rise or fall corresponds to t
