15、: 1993 METHODS OF MEASUREMENT FOR RADIO TRANSMITTERS Part 10: Methods of measurement for television transmitters and transposers employing insertion test signals INTRODUCTION This standard is one of a series of parts of IEC Publication 244: Methods of Measurement for Radio Transmitters, describing r
16、ecommended methods of measurement for assessing the performance of radio transmitters. In this standard reference is made to other parts of IEC Publication 244, especially Publication 244-5: Part 5: Measurements Particular to Transmitters and Transposers for Monochrome and Colour Televi- sion, and P
17、ublication 244-9: Part 9: Transposers for Monochrome and Colour Television. 1. scope This standard applies to television transmitters and transposers operating in accordance with television systems for monochrome andcolour transmission employing 625 or 525 lines as described in CCIR publications. Fo

20、 synchro- nizing level. 4. Insertion test signals A representative range of insertion test signals is shown in Figures 1 to 8. For ease of reference they are indicated by roman numerals. The test signals I to IV for 625-line systems are given in Figures 1 to 4, pages 37 and 38. Figures 5 and 6, page
21、 39, show the test signals V and VI for 525-line systems. The test signals I to VI are based on the CCIR Recommendation reproduced in Appendix A, .to which reference should be made for further details. The test signais VI1 and VI11 are included for the measurement of certain characteristics not incl
22、uded in the CCIR Recommendation. Test signal VII, shown in Figure 7, page 40, is used for measuring the in-band intermodulation products caused by intermodulation between the vision and sound carriers and the sideband component corresponding to the chrominance subcarrier in 625-line equipment, parti
23、cularly for transmitters and transposers employing common amplification of the vision and sound channels. A similar test signal may be used for testing 525-line equipment. m 3404583 008b5bb 821 m Page 6 EN 60244-10 : 1993 Test signal VIII, shown in Figure 8, page 41, comprising a signal at blanking
24、level for the full line interval, is used for measuring noise in 625-line equipment. A similar test signal may be used for testing 525-line equipment. 5. Line selection For out-of-programme service tests, the test signals may be, in principle, inserted in any line in For tests during programme servi
25、ce, the lines selected for the test signals should be in accordance the field-blanking interval. with relevant CCIR Recommendations and Reports (see Appendix C, reference (41). 6. Content of the active picture period It is assumed that all insertion test signals are simultaneously present on the sel
26、ected lines of the field-blanking interval. Because the measurement result may depend on the picture content of the other lines, the average signal level during in-programme measurements shall be stated in the presentation of results. Out-of-programme measurements may be made for different values of
27、 average picture level with the luminance level of the active picture lines successively adjusted to correspond to an “all-black picture” and an “all-white picture”, and, if required, also to a “mid-grey picture”. This shall also be stated in the presentation of results. SECTION TWO - GENERAL CONDIT
28、IONS OF MEASUREMENT AND INITIAL ADJUSTMENT OF THE EQUIPMENT 7. Manual and automatic methods of measurement Measurements with insertion test signals can be made either “manually” by means of discrete items of test equipment, such as an oscilloscope, noise meter, etc., or “automatically” by using an i
29、nsertion test signal analyzer. The analyzer continually scans sequentially the selected performance characteristics and may provide a digital read-out and give an indication when the measured values exceed a predetermined threshold (for example, see the CCIR Reports 5 and 6 mentioned in Appendix C).
30、 The advantages of the automatic method include: - reduction of measuring time, - greater measurement accuracy for most characteristics, - the possibility of recording on paper or tape. Except where a distinction is made in particular clauses between manual and automatic methods of measurement, the
31、measurement procedures given in this standard are valid for both methods. However, although in the case of automatic measurements the procedure is carried out automati- cally by the insertion test signal analyzer, the various steps are described as if they were performed manually. When an automatic
32、method of measurement is used, the analyzer will indicate the mean value of the Characteristic measured and the presentation of results shail state the period over which the results are averaged. m 3404583 0086567 768 m Page 7 EN 60244-10 : 1993 8. Measuring arrangement The measuring arrangement sho
33、wn in Figure 9, page 42, comprises the following items of equip- ment: - For out-of-programme tests, a video test signal generator capable of delivering a composite video signal, including the colour burst, in accordance with the television standard concerned. - An insertion test signal generator, c
34、apable of delivering the insertion test signals given in Clause 4 - A vestigial-sideband (VSB) demodulator provided with “zero-carrier reference”, preferably of above. the type employing switchable synchronous/envelope detection. Envelope detection should preferably be used for the measurement of di
35、fferential phase. If envelope detection is also used for the measurement of other characteristics, any errors due to quadrature distortion should be taken into account (for example, see the CCIR Report 7 men- tioned in Appendix C). - An insertion test signal analyzer for the automatic method of meas
36、urement, or an oscilloscope with line selector for the manual method of measurement. - In addition, for the measurement of transposers, a test transmitter capable of delivering mod- ulated vision and sound signals in accordance with the television standard concerned. In this case, the overall perfor
37、mance of the combination of test transmitter and demodulator, excluding the transposer, must be known and allowed for. See, for example, PODEMSKI and also Part E of the CCIR Recommendation 2 mentioned in Appendix C. 9. Conditions of operation The transmitter or transposer shall be set up to its rate
38、d output conditions and tested under the general conditions of operation appropriate to the equipment concerned in accordance with I E C Publication 244-5 or 244-9. 10. Adjustment of the VSB demodulator 10.1 Introduction Insertion test signal analyzers are normally calibrated for measurements on a c
39、omposite video signal of standard level in video distribution networks, for example the signal at the input of a transmitter. The reference voltage employed for all measurements is that voltage corresponding to the nominal value of the luminance bar (or picture) amplitude of the video signal, i.e. 7
40、14 mV for Systems M and N and 700 mV for all other systems. If the analyzer is used for the measurement of the signal at the output of a demodulator, the latter shall be adjusted as set out in Sub-clause 10.2 below, so that the voltage between blanking level and nominal white reference level at the
41、demodulator output is equal to the reference voltage, Le. the nominal luminance bar amplitude at the transmitter input. As, unless otherwise stated, the measurement procedures given in this standard are applicable to both automatic and manual methods of measurement, the adjustment procedure describe
42、d in Sub- clause 10.2 shall also be used in the latter case. 3404583 0086568 bT4 Page 8 EN 60244-10 : 1993 10.2 Adjustment procedure The procedure described below applies both to systems employing positive modulation and also to systems employing negative modulation of the vision signal. a) Connect
43、the output of the VSB demodulator to an oscilloscope. b) Set the video test signal generator to provide an “all black” picture. c) By means of the “zero-carrier reference” of the demodulator and its output level control, adjust the voltage between blanking level and zero-carrier to the value of U. g
