36、dy Group Xi with the task of preparing a ?Handbook on Telephonometry?. This was duly studied in the period 198 1-1984, with the Handbook becoming available in 1987. Since the inputs into the Handbook only reflected the Recommendations up to 1984, and since 1984 most of the Recommendations in the P-S

37、eries have been updated and there have also been several new Recommendations, it was decided in 1988 to produce a second edition by the end of the 1989-1992 study period. The primary aims of the Handbook were to describe: - - objective measurement techniques; - Obviously, the Handbook is closely rel

38、ated with most of the P-Series Recommendations and may be considered to form a commentary to these Recommendations. In preparing this edition, close cooperation existed with the CCITT/Study Group XIISpeech quality Experts Group who were harmonizing the P.70 and P.80 Series of Recommendations. It wil

39、l be noticed, for example, in Recommendation P.80 - ?Methods for the Subjective Determination of Transmission Quality? - that there is frequent reference to this Handbook. Although, basically, the Handbook is intended to be a practical manual and the methods described in the Handbook should be consi

40、dered as a guide to sound engineering practice, it has been considered useful to include passages of textbook nature to help in understanding the underlying principles. The Handbook has attempted to resist the inclusion of too many obsolete Recommendations. It is hoped that the Handbook will still s

41、erve the needs of the developing countries as initially intended, but it may also be a guide for technical personnel on different educational levels in any country. In addition, it may pave the way for further international standardization of all kinds of telephonometric measurements. Remark the mai

42、n methods of subjective measurement; calculation techniques for estimating transmission performance. The methods described in the Handbook represent only what is considered as sound practice. CCT Recommendations should be given priority every time they exist. The reader is invited to refer to the mo

43、st recent amendments of the Recommendations. Furthermore, the length of the sections should not be considered as reflecting the importance of the subjects treated. At the 1988 Plenary Assembly in Melbourne the decision was taken to close the CCT laboratory. Acknowledgements Particular thanks must be

Group, namely: CSELT, CNET, AT Chapter 722 of the International Electrotechnical Vocabulary (published by IEC). 1.1.2 Units and quantities The following International Standards describe units, quantities, preferred values or expressions

45、 of magnitudes used in acoustics: IS0 31/7 IS0 1683 IS0 13 1 IS0 266 Various kinds of levels expressed in decibels have become common for acoustic measurements. A reference quantity is needed for each kind of level. Quantities and units of acoustics Preferred reference quantities for acoustic levels

46、 Expression of physical and subjective magnitudes of sound or noise in air Preferred frequencies for measurements. For several kinds of level, different reference quantities have been used from time to time. Thus, for clarity, it is necessary to indicate which reference quantity is being employed. I

47、t is recommended in IS0 131 that data on the physical magnitude of sound or noise be expressed by a statement of the soundpressure level measured at a particular point. The sound pressure level, Lp, expressed in decibels, of a sound or noise is given by the formula 20 log /PO), where p is the root-m

48、ean-square (RMS) value of sound pressure measured at a particular point, and po is the reference sound pressure. The preferred reference quantity for measurements of sound pressure in air is (according to ISO) po = 20 pPa. However, in electro-acoustics and in particular in telephonometry, where ofte

49、n sensitivities expressed as ratios between sound pressure and voltage (or vice versa) are used, the use of 1 Pa as reference sound pressure may be more convenient. A reference quantity may be introduced by re, which indicates that the level is “with reference to”, and may so be read. For example, “the sound pressure level, re 20 pPa, is equal to 80 dB”. Generally, if no reference quantity is given, it is assumed that sound pressure levels are given re 20 pPa. Therefore, if the reference quantity is 1 Pa, this should always be indicated. A practical way of designation, w
