4-10. EXTENDED FM DISTORTION TEST
SPECIFICATION:
Electrical Characteristics
FREQUENCY MODULATION
FM Distortion
(20 Hz to 100 kHz)
Performance Limits
0.4%
2.0%
4.0%
Conditions
1/15 max dc coupled deviation
1/2 max dc coupled deviation
max dc coupled deviation
DESCRIPTION:
All FM distortion specifications are checked by demodulating the signal
with the measuring receiver. The modulation output of the measuring
receiver is then fed into the input of an audio analyzer and measured.
