Abstract: Practical methods for making laboratory measurements of electroacoustic characteristics of analog and digital telephones, handsets, and headsets are presented. The methods may also be applicable to a wide variety of other communications equipment, including cordless, wireless, and mobile communications devices. Measurement results may be used to evaluate these devices on a standardized basis. Application is in the frequency range from 100 Hz to 8500 Hz. Keywords: analog telephones, digital telephones, electroacoustic measurements on telephones, handsets, headsets, IEEE 269, IEEE 269a, telephony, voice transmission performance. |
