7.3.2 Emission Measurements
During emission measurements the radio transmitter shall be in both idle and transmit modes. The following shall be taken into account: • Harmonics and spurious disturbances associated with the wanted transmit signal, shall be ignored. • Emission in the exclusion bands shall be ignored.

1 Scope
The present document defines an extension to the AC-4 codec. The present document specifies a consumer object-based audio renderer for use with the AC-4 codec as specified in ETSI TS 103 190-2 [1], and the object-based audio metadata specified therein. The renderer takes the object audio essence and the corresponding m...

5.1.2.1 Introduction
In consumer playback environments, the position of the Left and Right loudspeakers can vary greatly with respect to the edges of the playback screen. At one extreme, the distance between the Left and Right loudspeakers can be much wider than the screen; at the other extreme, the screen can be very large, such that Left...
