This standard refers specifically to mobile radio receivers having audio-frequency bandwidths generally not exceeding 10 kHz for the reception of voice and other types of signals, using: angle modulation [frequency modulation (F3E)/phase modulation (G3E)], or double-sideband amplitude modulation with full carrier (A3E). This standard is intended to be used in conjunction with IEC Publication 60489-1. The supplementary terms and definitions and the conditions of measurement set forth in this standard are intended for type tests and may also be used for acceptance tests.
