Appendix III Automated double talk analysis procedure (This appendix does not form an integral part of this Recommendation) III.1 Introduction ITU-T P.340 describes test methods for double talk analyses of hands-free terminals based on signals and analys

17、is procedures standardized in this Recommendation and in ITU-T P.501. These measurements allow the analysis of the attenuation range in sending and receiving directions based on double talk composite source signals. Basically, the measurements are performed by subtracting the time dependent level of

18、 a transmitted test signal during double-talk by its corresponding time synchronized level during single talk. However, due to slight time misalignments, non-linear, time variant signal processing and other fractures, an objective analysis which can be performed reproducibly and unambiguously in dif

19、ferent labs is not always possible. The result often depends on the interpretation of the operator. This appendix describes a new procedure which allows the automated objective analysis in a clearly defined way. The method has been proven to reduce the ambiguity in interpretation of double talk meas

20、urements. The accuracy of this method in predicting the mean value of the attenuation range derived by a jury of test conductors manually calculating the attenuation range is unknown. Currently, this method is only intended to check consistency in measurements between labs. The method was not valida

21、ted in a formal double talk test. The procedure described is based on the double talk composite source signal (CSS) which is currently used for double talk testing. However, the method described is not limited to CSS but may be applied to other double talk signals as well. It is intended that real s

22、peech signals be used for testing instead of speech-like signals, if possible. This work is ongoing. It should be noted that if the method described here is applied to other test signals, the method needs to be adapted especially with respect to the histogram limitations. 2 Rec. ITU-T P.502 (2000)/A

23、md.1 (05/2010) III.2 Proposal for an automated double talk analysis procedure A typical result of the analysis of modern terminals with respect to the attenuation range in the sending direction is given in Figure III.1. HFT: Hands-free (telephone) set Figure III.1 Typical results of a double talk te

24、st based on the attenuation range measurement ITU-T P.340 It can be seen, that the blue (HFT 2) curve is already somewhat difficult to interpret with respect to the amount of attenuation inserted during double talk. An unambiguous interpretation of the red (HFT 1) curve is nearly impossible because

25、at different times different attenuations are inserted; the attenuation versus time is highly time-variant. In such cases, the time history signal, as well as some additional subjective verification of the measured result, is currently used in order to finally determine the attenuation range during

26、double talk. However, this does not always lead to the same interpretation of the results by different operators. In order to achieve a clear, consistent and unambiguous interpretation result, an objective procedure is needed. A proposal for such a procedure, which could also be applied for other ty

27、pes of double talk test signals, is shown in Figure III.2. HFT 1HFT 2Sony Ericsson vs. Lexus L/dB-45-40-35-30-25-20-15-10-50t/s0 0.5 1 2 2.5 3LexusSony Ericsson?Rec. ITU-T P.502 (2000)/Amd.1 (05/2010) 3 Figure III.2 Principle of the proposed automated double talk analysis The double talk signal is t

28、ime aligned to the delay inserted by the telephone and the test equipment, and presented to the terminal as described in ITU-T P.340 (“t“). Instead of using the unfiltered double talk CSS signal as reference, the reference signal used is the transmitted test signal for the individual direction (send

29、ing or receiving) without the double talk signal present. Such reference signal includes possible automatic gain control (AGC) influence as well as the individual transfer function of the device under test. Based on the transmitted signal and the new reference signal, the double talk analysis is per

30、formed through the individual interpretation of each CSS burst from the transmitted double talk signal (see Figure III.2). For each CSS burst a level histogram is created, and from this level histogram the amount of attenuation is determined (ah,DT,SNDand ah,DT,RCVrespectively, according to ITU-T P.

31、340). The ah,DT,SNDthat is finally observed determines the double talk category (for the sending direction in this case). The histogram creation and the calculation of attenuation relevant for the final double talk rating is described in the following more in detail using the analysis example in Fig

32、ure III.3. It shows the level versus time difference representation of the CSS bursts of a modern terminal in the sending direction (level of the transmitted signal referred to the level of filtered reference signal): The level versus time L(k) is calculated according to b-IEC 61672 (i.e., DIN EN 61

33、672) with a time constant of 5 ms for both signals (LDT,SND(k) and LRef(k). The difference between both signals L(k) is calculated as L(k) = LDT,SND(k) LRef(k). Minimum and maximum limits for the histogram are derived from minimum and maximum level difference (Lmin= minL(k) and Lmax= maxL(k). Divisi

45、abs, while at the same time showing some reasonable correlation with subjective experts evaluations. The described post analysis is not limited to the CSS bursts currently defined in ITU-T P.501, the main body of this Recommendation and ITU-T P.340, but can be performed in the same way with differen

46、t types of double talk signals. The analysis could be also applied for double talk signals based on real speech. However, if applied, the parameters of the histogram treatment need to be adapted. This work is under study. 2) Bibliography Add the following new reference: b-IEC 61672 IEC 61672, Electr
