BS EN 60244 is a series on methods of measurement for radio transmitters. Radio transmitters an electronic device that produces radio waves with an antenna. The transmitter itself generates a radio frequency alternating current, which is applied to the antenna.
BS EN 60244-10 applies to television transmitters and transposers operating in accordance with television systems for monochrome and colour transmission employing 625 or 525 lines as described in CCIR publications. For details of the characteristics of the various systems, see the CCIR Report mentioned in BS EN 60244-10.
BS EN 60244-10 on insertion test signals is useful for:
Radio transmitters are necessary component parts of all electronic devices that communicate by radio, such as radio and television broadcasting stations, cell phones, walkie-talkies, wireless computer networks, Bluetooth enabled devices, garage door openers, and two-way radios in aircraft, ships, spacecraft, radar sets and navigational beacons. BS EN 60244-10 is one of a series of parts of IEC Publication 244: Methods of Measurement for Radio Transmitters, describing recommended methods of measurement for assessing the performance of radio transmitters. In BS EN 60244-10 reference is made to other parts of IEC Publication 244, especially Publication 244-5: Part 5: Measurements Particular to Transmitters and Transposers for Monochrome and Colour Television, and Publication 244-9:Part 9: Transposers for Monochrome and Colour Television.
BS EN 60244-10 deals with the application of insertion test signal measurement to television transmitters and transposers. This method of measurement is useful for checking the line time performance of the transmitters or transposers during programme service and provides a convenient method of testing transmission performance stability during acceptance tests. BS EN 60244-10 may also be used as an alternative means of carrying out some of the line time measurements as described in BS EN 60244-10. A representative range of insertion test signals is shown in BS EN 60244-10. For ease of reference, they are indicated by roman numerals. Measurements with insertion test signals can be made either “manually” by means of discrete items of test equipment, such as an oscilloscope, noise meter, etc., or “automatically” by using an insertion test signal analyzer. The analyzer continually scans sequentially the selected performance characteristics and may provide a digital read-out and give an indication when the measured values exceed a predetermined threshold. Using BS EN 60244-10 you can specify television transmitters and transposers operating in accordance with television systems for monochrome and colour transmission employing 625 or 525 lines.
