IEC EN 61260-1 Electroacoustics - Octave Band and Fractional Octave Band Filters - Part 1: Specifications

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, provides precise and fast testing services within the scope of IEC EN 61260-1 test. IEC EN 61260-1 specifies the performance requirements for analog, sampled data and digital applications of bandpass filters. The coverage of the passband region of a filter's relative attenuation characteristic is a fixed percentage of the full midband frequency for all filters with a given bandwidth.

IEC EN 61260-1 Electroacoustics - Octave Band and Fractional Octave Band Filters - Part 1: Specifications

A device conforming to the requirements of this standard may include any number of adjacent bandpass filters covering any desired frequency range. Performance requirements are provided for two filter classes: class 1 and class 2. In general, the specifications for class 1 and class 2 filters have the same design objectives and differ mainly in the acceptance limits and operating temperature range. Admission limits for class 2 are greater than or equal to those for class 1.

The maximum allowable extended measurement uncertainties are also specified. Band-pass filters that comply with the performance requirements of this standard can be part of various measurement systems or be an integral part of a particular instrument, such as a spectrum analyzer. This standard specifies the ranges of environmental conditions for filters to operate.

The required range depends on whether the instrument containing the filters is designed for operation in a controlled environment or more generally in the field. Band-pass filters complying with the requirements of this standard can provide frequency band filtered spectral information for a wide variety of signals, such as time-varying, intermittent or constant; broadband or discrete frequency; and long or short periods.
