.
b) Adjust the level of a reference 4 kHz sinusoidal signal to indicate 94,0 dB.
c) Select L
A10”
.
d) Apply a continuous sequence of 4 kHz tonebursts of 1 ms duration, with an amplitude
equal to the reference signal, and a burst ratio of 1/100. Note the value measured.
e) Calculate the difference between the measured value and the level of the reference

– 94dB
f) Repeat points d) - e) with a burst ratio of 1/1000.
g) Repeat points d) - f) with tonebursts of 10 ms duration.
h) Repeat points a) - g) with a reference sinusoidal signal of 4 kHz and 140,0 dB.
E) RESPONSE TO UNIPOLAR PULSES
a) Select L

.
b) Adjust the level of a reference sinusoidal signal of 1 kHz to indicate 135,0 dB.
c) Select L
A10”
.
d) Apply a sequence of positive-going, rectangular, unipolar pulses of 0,5 ms duration,
separated by 10 ms with a peak level equal to the rms level of the reference signal.
