1.2 Specifications
1.2.1 Introduction
The performance figures given are minimum figures, unless otherwise indicated, for
equipment tuned with the maximum switching range and operating at standard room
temperature (+22°C to +28°C) and standard test voltage (13.8V DC).
Where applicable, the test methods used to obtain the following performance figures are
those described in the EIA and ETS specifications. However, there are several parame-
ters for which performance according to the CEPT specification is given. Refer to Sec-
tion 1.2.6 for details of test standards.
Details of test methods and the conditions which apply for Type Approval testing in all
countries can be obtained from Tait Electronics Ltd.
The terms "wide bandwidth", "mid bandwidth" and "narrow bandwidth" used in this
