FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 1) (Second Rcvisiou) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draftfinalized by the Radio Communication Scctiontil Committee had been approved by the Electronics and InformationTechnology Division Council. The Division Council in its eighth meeting reconstituted the Radio CommunicationSectional Committee (LITD 20) as Audio, Video and Multimedia Systems and Equipments Sectional Committee(LITD 07).
This stmdard is largely based on IEC Publication 60107-1 (1997) ‘Methods of measurement on receivers fortelevision broadcast transmissions: Part 1 General considerations’ issued by the International ElectrotechnicalCommission.
The object of this standard is to lay down the general conditions of measurements to be used for testing of areceiver for television so as to make possible the comparison of the results of measurements. Limiting values of
the various quantities for acceptable performance are not specified in this standard but would be covered in
separate standards.
The first version of IS 4545 which was published in 1968, covered the methods of measurements for television
broadcast receivers having monochromes vision rrception. Whh the introduction of colour television receivers,
this standard was first revised in 1983 to make it applicable to receivers designed for both monochrome andcolour vision receptions and published in a number of parts to deal with different aspects of characteristics oftelevision receivers. Now, this revision is being undertaken to align the standard with the latest internationalpractices dealing with methods of measurements on television receivers as given in IEC 60107-1:1997.
The other parts in the series are as follows:

Compatibility with audio-visual recording equipment
Electrical and acoustic measurements at audio frequency
Measurement under conditions different from broadcast signal standards
Electrical measurements on multi-channel sound television receivers using the NICAM two channeldigital sound system
For television broadcast in India, the standard system B (the 625 line standard) of the International Radio
Consultative Committee (CCIR) has been adopted. For colour transmission the PAL B system with a sub-carrierof 4.43 MHz has been adopted. The char~ctcristics of the system B of CCIR are given in IS 11453: 1985‘Characteristics of systems for monochrome and colour television’.
The methods of measurements for safety requirements for television receivers and procedures for radiationmeasurements area covered by IS 616:2003 /IEC 60065:2001 ‘Audio, video and similar electronic apparatus
— Safety requirements’ and IS 10052 (Part 2) :1999 ‘Specification for radio disturbances and immunity measuringapparatus and methods: Part 2 Methods of measurement of clisturbances and immunity (first revision)’ respectively.
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this stand,ard is complied with, the final value,observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis, shal] be rounded off in accordance with IS 2: 1960‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (rc~i.~ed)’. The number of significant places retained in the rounded offvalue should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard

3 TERMINOLOGY
For the purpose of this standard the followingdefinitions and explanations of terms shall apply.
3.1 Signal Strength — The signal strength isconsidered to be equal to therms value of unmodulatedradio frequency signal having the same peak envelope
amplitude as that of the modulated television signal atpeak amplitude.
3.2 Voltage and Current — These imply in televisiontechnique ‘peak-to-peak’ values; this is indicated byp-p. Without such indication, voltage and cummt imply
rms values, unless otherwise specified. A fullymodulated radio frequency signal is a radio frequencysignal modulated to white level in accordance with thestandard of the television system used. By convention,the signal strength is considered to be equal to the rmsvalue of an unmodulated radio frequency signal havingthe same peak amplitude as the modulated signal hasat the peak of modulation. This corresponds to whitelevel for systems using positive modulation and
synchronizing level for systems using negativemodulation as shown in Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B.
NOTES
1 Greater modulation depths may occur with colour signals(see 3.3 and 3.4).
2 The true rms values of a modulated signal will be differentfrom this value, the magnitude of the difference depending onthe depth of modulation and its waveform. In the tests in which
it s inewave modulated carrier may be used, the factor forconversion to peak values is given in the appropriate figures.
3.3 Picture Modulation Percentage — Picturemodulation percentage is expressed on a linear scaleto indicate the picture signal level at any given instant.
Zero percent modulation corresponds to the black level,and 100 percent picture modulation corresponds to thewhite level as defined for the system used. Values below
Opercent and above 100 percent may occur with coloursignals. Intermediate values correspond to intermediatelevels of the picture signal (see Fig. 1A and Fig.lB).
3.4 Envelope Level — The envelope level is expressed
on a linear scale to indicate the level of the vision radio-frequency signal at any given instant.
100 percent envelope level corresponds to highestcarrier level for a monochrome signal, and O percentenvelope level corresponds to the zero carrier level.
With negative modulation, 100 percent envelope levelcorresponds to the radio-frequency signal level at the
tip of the synchronizing pulses. With positivemodulation 100 percent envelope level corresponds tothe radio-frequency signal level at white level (100percent picture modulation) (see Fig. 1A and Fig. 1B).This value may be exceeded for colour signals.
3.5 Luminance — Luminance (L) in a given directionis the luminous intensity per unit of projected area ofany surface as viewed from that direction.
The luminance value is expressed in candela per squaremetre ( 1 cd/m2 = 1 unit).
3.6 Brightness — This is the subjective impression ofthe luminance.
3.7 Supply Mains — This denotes any power sourcewith an operating voltage of more than 24 V that is not
used solely to supply television receivers.
3,8 Battery Operation — This denotes operation on

5 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
5.1 Standard Reference Conditions
If the quantities to be measured depend on temperature
and/or air pressure and the law of dependence is known,the values are measured under the conditions given in5.3 and, if necessary, corrected by calculation to thefollowing reference values:
a) Temperature : + 20°c
b) Air pressure : 101300 Pa
NOTE c— No requirements for relative humidity aregiven here, because a correction by calculation isgenerally not possible.
5.2 Standard Reference Conditions
If the quantities to be measured depend on temperature,humidity and air pressure and the law of dependenceis unknown, the measurements maybe made, by mutual
agreement, under the following conditions:
a) Temperature : 25 * 1°C
6
b)
c)
Relative humidity : 48 to 52 percent
Air pressure : 86000 Pa to 106000 Pa
When the temperature of measurement dif’fcrs from20”C or such other temperature as may be prescribedin the relevant specification, suitable limits for the
characteristic values shall be agreed to between theuser and the manufacturer.
The test report shall give the actual values oftemperature, relative humidity and air pressure duringthe measurements.
For large equipment or test rooms, where temperature,relative humidity and air pressure limits as indicatedabove are difficult to maintain, wider tolerances arcallowed, subject to mutual agreement. The actual valuesshall be given in the test report.
5.3 Standard Testing Conditions
Measurements and mechanical tests arc normallycarried out at any existing combination of temperature,humidity and air pressure within the following limits:
a) Temperature : + I5° to +35”C
b) Relative humidity : 45 to 75 percent
c) Air pressure : 86000 Pa to 106000 Pa
In addition, for receivers intended for operation over awider temperature range, such as portable and motorvehicle receivers, the temperature range may be
extended further, covering one of the ranges specifiedin IS 9000 (Part 1).
The temperature and relative humidity shall besubstantially constant during the series ofmeasurements carried out as a part of one test on one
equipment.
Where it is impracticable to carry out measurementsunder these standard atmospheric conditions fortesting, a note to this effect, stating the actual
conditions, shall be added to the test report.
6 PRECAUTIONS DURING MEASUREMENTS
6.1 Damage to Equipment
When carrying out measurements on a receiver, all testconditions or operations which may lead to damage tothe receiver and/or its tubes, valves or semiconductordevices, shall bc avoided. This applies particularly tosensitive solid state devices such as integrated circuitsand similar constructions,
6.2 Safety Arrangements
It a protecting cover is removed and parts which arecilrcctly conncctccl to the mains (for example, thecilassis) become accessible, it is recommended, for the
7
IS 4545 (Part 1) :2008
safety of personnel performing measurements that
equipment be connected to the ac mains via a safetytransformer, [hc secondary winding of wilich isinsulated in accordance with the principle of doubleinsulation.
It shall be ascertained that the use of safety transformer
does not influence the receiver properties to be
measured. In particular, the internal itnpedancc of thesafety transformer shall be sufficiently low, for the
behaviour of the receiver to be the same as when
connected directly to the mains supply.
7 POWER SUPPLY
The following types of power supply are considered:
a) Mains — Any centralized ac or dc power
sources;
b) Batteries —Accumulators, primary batteries,
or similar sources such as solar batteries,thermo-electric cells etc; and
c) ac adaptors — Alternatives to normal dc.Voltage power sources and appropriatelyspecified for the receiver.
The type, voltage and internal resistance of powersources used during measurements shall bc either the
power source specified for the receiver or closely
simulate it. Any substitute arrangements used shall bestated with the results.
Receiver intended for use on more than one type of
power supply should be measured with each type ofpower supply.
NOTE — tn this respect ac mains and dc mains are considered
differeot types of power supply,
Measurements of the receiver characteristics shaii becarried out at the rated voltage of the power sLIpply.
The fluctuation of the power supply voltage during the
(cst shall not exceed f 2 percent. When ac mains are
used, the frequency fluctuation and harmontc
components of the power supply shall not cxcccd* 2 percent and 5 percent respectively.
To (ictcrmine the influence of variations in the supplyvoltages on the receiver characteristics, supplementary
measurements may be needed at over voitages and
under voltages, this being chosen appropriately withdue regarci to manufacturer’s specification.
8 STABILIZATION PERIOD
In order to ensure that when measurements begin, the

11 RADIO FREQUENCY INPUT SIGNALS
11.1 Radio Frequency Input Signal Level
‘Ile radio frequency input level of the receiver shallbe expressed as a terminal voltage. The terminal voltageis the voltage across the terminal of a generator when
[crminated with its specified terminal impedance.
In this standard, it is assumed that the input impedance
of receivers is 75 Q. If matching, balancing or
combining networks are used, the terminal voltage is
the voltage across the 75 Q termination resistor of thesenetworks.
For the receivers with input circuits for specified sourceimpedance of 75 S2, the input signal level shall beexpressed in dB(pV) over 75 Q. In the case of an r.f.
television signal, the level shall be represented by thelevel of the vision carrier as defined in 9.
To facilitate the direct comparison of receivers forwhich different source impedances are specified, it isuseful to compare the input signal levels in terms ofthe power-equivalent terminal voltage at the outputterminals of the generator including the correspondingmatching, balancing or combining networks.
For receivers with input circuits specified for source
impedance other than 75 Q, the power-equivalentterminaI voltage E’ is the input voltage to the receiverdelivering the same available power to the speciliedterminal: on resistor as E in the case of 75 Q.
E for Rf2 can be calculated using the followingf’ormula:
19
IS 4545 (Part 1) :2008
E= E+- 10 log,0(R/75)
where
E’ = s]gnal level across the reslstancx 2 W, III
dB(mV):
,y = si~nal level across 75 W, in dB(mV); and
R = impedance, in ohms.
Table 1 gives recommended values for the terminalvoltage.
[~or the receivers with built-in antennas, the input signalshall be expressed in terms of field strength, in dB(pV/m).
For tests requiring the application of very low inputsignal levels, care shall he taken that interfering signalsentering the receivers, in any spurious way, do notinfluence the results of the measurements.
11.2 Radio Frequency Input Arrdngemenls
11.2.1 Matching Network
The specified source impedance R, for which thereceiver is designed, is not to be confused with actualinput impedance of the receiver, as measurable at the
antenna input terminals.
A receiver with an unbalanced or a balanced inputcircuit for a specified source impedance shall bemeasured with a signal source having respectively anunbalanced or a balanced output, whose internalimpedance Ri is matched to the specified sourceimpedance R,.
If the specified source impedance R, and the internalimpedance of the signal source Ri are unequal, asuitable matching network shall be inserted betweenthe signal source and the receiver.
Radiating
Care shall be taken that connecting cables in therelevant parts of the c]rcuit have characteristicImpedance R, or Ri , as appropriate.
If :i balanced signal source is not available whenneeded, a suitable balancing network shall be used. Itsinfluence on the signal shall be taken into account bycalibrating the circuit fitted with the appropriatetermination resistance before measurements.
11.2.2 Combining Networks
For the application of two or multi-signal measuringmethods, suitable combining networks (combiners)shall be applied when coupling various signal sources.
A combining network maybe followed by a balancingandfor a matching network according to its application.
The influence of the total network on the signal shallbe taken into account by calibrating the circuit fittedwith the appropriate terminal resistances.
11.3 Radio Frequency Input to Built-i~Antennas
If the receiver under test has a built-in antenna butno antenna terminal, one of the methods described in10.3.1 to 10.3.3 shall be used.
11.3.1 Radiating Antenna Method
The radiating antenna method defined in CISPR 13shall be used except for the setting of the receivingantenna.
This method should preferably be used in anelectromagnetic anechoic chamber in order to avoidinterference due to ambient fields. Arrangement of thetest equipment is shown in Fig. 29.
