IEC EN 60107-1 Measurement Methods at Receivers for Television Broadcast Transmissions - Measurements at Radio and Video Frequencies

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 60107-1 test. It deals with the standard conditions and measurement methods on television receivers that comply with terrestrial television standards set by ITU-R.

Such receivers can be used for direct over-the-air reception, reception via wired networks, or as a monitor for pre-recorded video, home movies, and games, among other applications. It deals with determining performance and allows comparison of equipment by listing features useful for specifications and establishing uniform measurement methods for those features. performance requirements are not specified.

IEC EN 60107-1 is a standard developed by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) for measuring receivers used in television broadcast transmissions. The standard provides general considerations for measuring receivers and covers measurements at radio and video frequencies.

The purpose of IEC EN 60107-1 is to establish standard measurement procedures for evaluating the performance of television receivers in terms of radio frequency and video frequency characteristics. The standard specifies the equipment, test methods, and measurement procedures required to provide accurate and repeatable measurements.

The standard covers a range of measurements, including:

• Sensitivity: This measurement determines the minimum signal level required for the receiver to produce a usable output.
• Selectivity: This measurement determines the receiver's ability to select and amplify a particular channel or frequency while rejecting unwanted signals.
• Intermodulation: This measurement evaluates the performance of the receiver when two or more distortion-causing signals are present simultaneously.
• Noise: This measurement evaluates the amount of noise present in the received signal.
• Image and audio quality: This measurement evaluates the quality of video and audio signals produced by the receiver.

The standard also covers the measurement of other characteristics such as signal-to-noise ratio, frequency response and distortion.

Compliance with IEC EN 60107-1 is essential to ensure that television receivers meet the performance requirements for receiving and displaying broadcast transmissions. The standard provides manufacturers and testing organizations with a means to consistently and reliably evaluate buyers' performance.
