5、ble for several purposes in telephonometry. This Recommendation gives a wide variety of test signals starting with low complexity test signals up to test signals with a high degree of complexity incorporating a lot of typical parameters of speech. Besides technical signals such as sine waves or nois

6、e, more speech-like signals are described. This Recommendation describes the principles of the signal construction for each type of test signal. Characteristic properties such as power density spectra, probability density functions or shaping filter responses are shown. This Recommendation gives an

7、overview about the typical application of the test signals described. This overview is a guideline giving general application rules. The detailed description of the application however should be found in the individual Recommendations describing the measurement procedures for a certain application.

8、In order to avoid problems in creating the test signals described, all these test signals are freely available for download from the ITU-T test signals database. Annex A proposes two test signals (a pn-sequence with a low crest factor and a logarithmically distributed multi-sine wave) for the measur

9、ement of terminal coupling loss (TCL). Annex B provides speech files and noise sequences to be used in combination with objective speech quality evaluation methods.

ITU-T P.501 (01/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommu

12、nication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assem

13、bly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology whic

14、h fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with th

15、is Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory lang

16、uage such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this

17、Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of claimed Intellectual Property Rights, whether asserted by ITU members or others outside of the Recommendation development process. As of the date o

18、f approval of this Recommendation, ITU had received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may be required to implement this Recommendation. However, implementers are cautioned that this may not represent the latest information and are therefore strongly urged to consult the TS
