7.3.1.2 Method of measurement
1) The EUT should be placed on a non-conducting support constructed from low dielectric constant (i.e. less than 1,5) material(s) so that its volume centre lies midway between the plates and directly above the central hole (drilled for the purposes of the verification procedure) in the bottom plate. It should be mounte...

7.3.1.3 Procedure for the completion of the results sheets
There are two values that need to be derived before the overall results sheet (see table 9) can be completed. These are the values for the maximum (or average) usable sensitivity of the EUT and the expanded measurement uncertainty. NOTE: Guidance for deriving the values of the various parameters used in the following c...

The effect of noise on radio receivers is very dependant on the actual design.

The sensitivity of a receiver is usually measured as the input RF signal level which produces a specific output performance which is a function of the base band signal-to-noise ratio in the receiver. This is done by adjusting the RF level of the input signal at the RF input of the receiver. What is actually done is tha...

When two unwanted signals X and Y occur at frequency distance d(X) and 2d(Y) from the receiving channel a disturbing signal Z is generated in the receiving channel due to non linearities in filters, amplifiers and mixers.

Under the assumption that equal change of both the level of the wanted signal and the intermodulation product will cause no change of the SINAD, (or the BER, or the message acceptance) the error contribution from the uncertainty of the level of the wanted signal can be calculated. If there is an error δw on the wanted ...

Any BER (or message acceptance) uncertainty will influence the total uncertainty by the inverse of the slope of the appropriate BER function at the actual signal-to-noise ratio. As the BER function is very steep, the resulting dependency function is small, and it is sufficient to use the differential coefficient as an ...

6.6.1 General
If an EUT is equipped with data facilities, the characteristic used to assess its performance is the Bit Error Ratio (BER). The BER is the ratio of the number of bits in error to the total number of bits in a received signal and is a good measure of receiver performance in digital radio systems just as SINAD is a good ...

6.6.2 Statistics involved in the measurement
Data transmissions depend upon a received bit actually being that which was transmitted. As the level of the received signal approaches the noise floor (and therefore the signal to noise ratio decreases), the probability of bit errors (and the BER) increases. The first assumption for this statistical analysis of BER me...
