Square Characteristics
Frequency Range (Fq) 10 Hz to SR / 6 Fq must equal SR / N where N is an
even integer 6.
Even Harmonic,
Spurious Content
Typically < –140 dBFS
Noise Characteristics
Shape White (<5 Hz to 0.499 • SR),
Pink (<10 Hz to 0.45 • SR),
IEC 60268-1 or BS EN 50332-1
IEC 60268-1 is shaped pink noise.
BS EN 50332-1 is similar, but with soft
clipping to limit crest factor to 2.
