It is identical with IEC244-13:1991, published by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is part of a multi-part series describing recommended methods of measurement for assessing the performance of radio transmitters. This Part of BS EN60244 covers the method of
8、 measurement to assess the performance characteristics of frequency modulated transmitters for sound broadcasting and is intended to be used for type tests and acceptance or factory tests. It is also intended to be used in conjunction with Parts1 and 12-1 and 12-2 1)of EN60244, as well as with the C
9、CIR Recommendations and Reports listed. It is anticipated that the other Parts of IEC Publication244 will be published as identical British Standards, subject to their harmonization by CENELEC. For ease of publication, some of the figures also include the French text. A British Standard does not pur

25、994-03-01EN60244-13:1993 BSI 09-1999 3 Introduction This International Standard is one of a series of parts of IEC244. A number of existing parts of IEC244 are currently under review and several of these will be revised or withdrawn. When this process is complete, this series of publications will co
26、mprise one part dealing with general characteristics, with cross-references to relevant CCIR publications 2)and the Radio Regulations, and a number of specialized parts, each dealing with particular types of transmitter. 1 Scope This International Standard contains the method of measurement to asses
27、s the performance characteristics of frequency modulated transmitters for sound broadcasting. To assess all other characteristics, this standard needs to be used in conjunction with the publications quoted in clause2. This standard is intended to be used for type tests and acceptance or factory test
28、s. It is not mandatory to measure all the described characteristics. Additional measurements may be carried out as an agreement between customer and manufacturer. The performance characteristics measured in accordance with this standard makes possible the comparison of the results of measurements ma
29、de by different observers. Limiting values for acceptable performance are not covered by this standard but, in connection with the presentation of measured characteristics, some data are given for clarity. 2 Normative references The following standards contain provisions which, through reference in
30、this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. At the time of publication, the editions indicated were valid. All standards are subject to revision, and parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most rec
31、ent editions of the standards indicated below.

38、y service multiplexed signals. 2) In most cases references to CCIR publications deliberately omit the revision number: it is assumed that reference will always be made to the later revision of CCIR publications. An exception is made here for Recommendation468-4, whose text is reproduced in full in t
39、his publication.EN60244-13:1993 4 BSI 09-1999 3.2 Description of the transmission systems for FM sound broadcasting The transmission systems for FM sound broadcasting are laid down in CCIR Recommendation450. Supplementary services are described in CCIR Report463 and CCIR Recommendation643. 3.3 Defin
40、itions of performance characteristics These definitions are given in the clauses describing the method of measurement and are in line with those given in IEC244-12-1 and IEC244-12-2. 4 General conditions of operation The FM sound transmitter shall be tested under normal operating conditions at its r
41、ated output power. The mains supply and the environmental conditions shall be stated with the measurement results. The FM sound transmitter shall be connected to a test load which has an impedance expressed in terms of return-loss relative to the nominal load impedance of the transmitter of not less
42、 than26dB at frequencies within the FM broadcasting band and16dB at frequencies of any measured unwanted frequency outside this band. 5 General conditions of measurement 5.1 Input and output signal arrangements For the purposes of measurement, the input and output signal arrangements are shown in th
43、e form of diagrams given on pages12 and13. The impedance of the test equipment, the test object and all connections between them shall be accurately matched. The performance characteristics shall be measured via a directional coupler. 5.2 Measuring equipment At the input: The modulating signals for
44、the transmitter under test shall be provided by one or two baseband low distortion generators covering the frequencies up to100kHz. For stereophony, a stereo coder shall be used. If the transmitter does not incorporate a stereo coder, an external test stereo coder shall be used. If required auxiliar
45、y equipment for generating, supplementary signals will be used (e.g.RDS coder). At the output: All measurements concerning the transmission performances shall be carried out at baseband signals, at the output of a test demodulator. For stereophony, the signals at the output of a test stereo decoder
46、shall be measured. For supplementary signals, a test decoder shall be used (e.g.RDS decoder). NOTEBecause the results of these measurements are critically dependent on the performance of the test equipment, it is necessary to check first the overall performance of the test equipment in the absence o
47、f the transmitter under test. 5.3 Modulation and output power conditions The modulation conditions for each measurement are given in the clauses describing the method of measurement. The output power is the power of the unmodulated carrier. All measurements shall be carried out at rated output power
48、. 5.4 Units used As needed, results may either be given in decibels or as percentages. 6 General characteristics The method of measurement of the general characteristics of the transmitter such as input impedance, output power and frequency stability will be described in IEC244-1 (under revision). 7
49、 Transmission performance characteristics Measurement can be performed on baseband signals (at frequencies up to a maximum of100kHz) and/or audio-frequency signals (at frequencies up to15kHz). The baseband measurements are made at the multiplex input of the transmitter. The audio band limiting and pre-emphasis in the transmitter and the de-emphasis in the demodulator are not in circuit, unless otherwise stated. The audio-frequency measurements are made at the audio input of the transmitter. The audio band l
