IEEE Standard Methods of Testing Monochrome Television Broadcast Receivers

Abstract

This standards replaces IRE standard 48 IRE 22, SI "standards on Television: Methods of Testing Television Receivers, 1948." At a later date, a standard for color television receivers will be introduced. Reference will be made in that standard to many portions of the present standard which are applicable to color television receivers as well as to monochrome receivers.

Scope

This standard describes procedures for measurement of the performance characteristics of the picture and sound sections of television receivers. Where specific test conditions are stated, these apply to home broadcast receivers designed to receive transmissions in accordance with the specifications of the United States Federal Communications Commission.1 Where other conditions apply, appropriate modifications must be made. Emphasis is placed on over-all receiver performance. Internal characteristics such as the gains and bandwidths of individual stages are not generally considered.
