This part of ÖVE/ÖNORM EN 62273 gives the conditions for measuring the performance parameters of terrestrial digital transmitters and for facilitating the comparison of measurements which are carried out by different personnel. It contains details of specially selected methods for determining the most important performance parameters of digital transmitters. The measurement methods described apply to a limited number of performance parameters, i.e. those which can give rise to ambiguous interpretation due to the use of different methods and conditions. They are neither restrictive nor mandatory: measurements can be chosen for each particular case. If necessary, additional tests can be carried out but they shall comply with those standards which have been established by other study groups, subcommittees of the IEC or other international or suitably accredited organizations. No limits have been assigned to quantify acceptable ranges of performance parameters.These are judged to be properly included in the technical specifications for individual transmitters; however, the terms and the manner used to quantify them should ideally be those described in a future IEC publication. The measurement methods described in this standard are intended for type approval tests.
