scope:

This Recommendation is intended to standardize the conditions and methods of measurement to be used to ascertain the performance of a radio transmitter and to make possible the comparison of the results of measurement made by different observers. This Recommendation contains details of selected methods of making measurements for assessing the essential properties of a radio transmitter. The methods of measurement described are restricted to those properties that may be liable to ambiguous interpretation due to the application of different methods and conditions of measurement. They are neither mandatory nor limiting; a choice of measurements can be made in each particular case. If necessary, additional measurements may be performed, but these shall preferably be carried out in accordance with standards laid down by other IEC Technical Committees or Sub-Committees, or by other international bodies. Limiting values of the various quantities for acceptable performance are not specified as these should be given in the relevant equipment specification. The methods of measurement detailed in this Recommendation are intended for type tests, but may also be used for acceptance tests and factory tests.
