10、onal Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operat

11、ing and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, pro

12、duce 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 which fall within ITU-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In th

13、is Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is voluntary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., i

14、nteroperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not sugges

15、t that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTSITU draws attention to the possibility that the practice or implementation of this Recommendation may involve the use of a claimed Intellectual Property Right. ITU takes no position concerning the evidenc

As of the date of approval of this Recommendation, ITU had not received notice of intellectual property, protected by patents, which may

ITU-T P.581 (02/2014) 1 Recommendation ITU-T P.581 Use of head and torso simulator for hands-free and handset terminal testing 1 Scope This Recommendation specifies the use of the head and torso simulator (HATS)

21、for hands-free (including speakerphone, loudspeaking and headset functions) and handset terminal testing. It applies for subjective tests, e.g., as described in ITU-T P.832 or for objective measurements as described in, for example, ITU-T P.340. The test positions, equalizations and calibration are

22、specified. The binaural test conditions are also considered. Test methods for both send and receive characteristics testing are specified. For the applications described in this Recommendation, the HATS consists of a head mounted on a torso that extends to the waist. The head is equipped with two ar

23、tificial ears according to ITU-T P.57 and with a mouth simulator. The HATS is specified physically as well as acoustically, in ITU-T P.58. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Rec

30、 a calibrated microphone for the measurement of the sound pressure and having an overall acoustic impedance similar to that of the median adult human ear over a given frequency band. 3.2.2 diffuse field equalization: Equalization of the HATS sound pick-up, equalization of the difference, in dB, betw

31、een the spectrum level of the acoustic pressure at the ear-drum reference point (DRP) and the spectrum level of the acoustic pressure at the HATS reference point (HRP) in a diffuse sound field with the HATS absent using the reverse nominal curve given in Table 3 of ITU-T P.58. 3.2.3 ear canal entran

32、ce point (EEP): A point located at the centre of the ear canal opening. 3.2.4 ear-drum reference point (DRP): Point located at the end of the ear canal, corresponding to the ear-drum position. 3.2.5 ear reference point (ERP): A virtual point for geometric reference located at the entrance to the lis

33、teners ear, traditionally used for calculating telephonometric loudness ratings. 3.2.6 free-field frequency response of HATS (sound pick-up): Difference, in dB, between the third-octave spectrum level of the acoustic pressure at the ear-drum reference point (DRP) and the third-octave spectrum level

34、of the acoustic pressure at the HATS reference point (HRP) in a free sound field with the HATS absent (test point). 3.2.7 free-field plane wave diffraction at mouth reference point (MRP): Difference, in dB, between the third-octave spectrum level of the acoustic pressure at the mouth reference point

35、 (MRP) and the third-octave spectrum level of the acoustic pressure at the same point in a free sound field with the HATS absent. The characteristic is measured for a frontal sound incidence, with a propagation direction parallel to the reference axis. 3.2.8 free-field reference point: Point located

36、 in the free sound field, at least 1.5 m from a sound source radiating in free air (in case of a head and torso simulator (HATS) in the centre of the artificial head with no artificial head present). 3.2.9 hands-free terminal: A telephone set that does not require the use of hands during the communi

37、cations session; examples are headset, speakerphone and group-audio terminal. 3.2.10 HATS hands-free reference point (HATS HFRP): Corresponds to a reference point “n“ from ITU-T P.58: “n“ shall be one of the points numbered from 11 to 17 and defined in Table 6a of ITU-T P.58 (coordinates of far-fiel

38、d front point). The HATS HFRP depends on the location(s) of the microphones of the terminal under test: the appropriate axis lip-ring/HATS HFRP shall be as close as possible to the axis lip-ring/speakerphone microphone under test. NOTE As an example, if the manufacturer indicates that the speakerpho

39、ne microphone should be located in front of the HATS, but with an elevation angle of 40 from the horizontal plane, the HATS HFRP, for this test configuration, shall be chosen as point 13 (Table 6a of ITU-T P.58). In such a case, the transfer function between the HATS HFRP and MRP amounts to: 25.0 dB

40、 +3/4 dB in the third-octave bands centred on 200 Hz; 24 dB 3 dB in the third-octave bands centred on 250 Hz, 315 Hz, 400 Hz, 500 Hz and 2 kHz; Rec.

It shall be constructed of non-magnetic material and be solidly fixable to the HATS. The lip-ring defines both the reference axis of the mouth and the mout

45、h reference point. 3.2.16 loudspeaking function: The handset is used in the normal position. The incoming signal is simultaneously presented to the user(s) from loudspeaker(s). 3.2.17 mouth reference point (MRP): The point on the reference axis, 25 mm in front of the lip plane. 3.2.18 pinna simulato

46、r: A device which has the approximate shape and dimensions of a median adult human pinna. 3.2.19 reference axis: The line perpendicular to the lip plane containing the centre of the lip-ring. 3.2.20 reference position of HATS: The reference position of the HATS in the test space is intended to simul
