1 3D Intermodulation Distortion Measurement AN 8 Application Note to the R&D SYSTEM The modulation of a high frequency tone f (voice tone and a low frequency tone f (bass tone is measured by using the 3D Distortion Measurement module (DIS of the R&D SYSTEM. The amplitude of the summed and difference-tone components centered around the voice tone f shows the effect of all types of modulation (amplitude, phase and frequency modulation and are expressed as nd and 3 rd order modulation distortion according to IEC A series of measurement is performed to reveal the dependency of the distortion on frequency and the amplitude of the excitation stimulus. Intermodulation distortion are a critical symptom of motor nonlinearities represented by a nonlinear Bl(x, L e (x and nonlinearities in the acoustical radiation (Doppler effect.

2 AN 8 3D Intermodulation Distortion Method of Measurement Excitation Signal Two sources of sinusoidal signals (voice tone + bass tone with an amplitude ratio U :U =:4 and with a frequency range of f : f > 8 : shall be connected to the terminals of the loudspeaker and varied versus frequency and amplitude. Amplitude Sweep: A series of measurement is performed while varying the amplitude in n U points spaced linearly or logarithmically between starting amplitude U start and end amplitude U end. Frequency Sweep: A series of measurement is performed while varying the frequency in n f points spaced linearly or logarithmically between starting frequency f start and end frequency f end.. For example: voice tone f : U start = 0. V rms, U end = V rms (8 points linear spaced f start = 300 Hz (> 8*f s, f end = 4 khz (50 points linearly spaced bass tone: U = 4*U, f = 0 Hz Loudspeaker Setup Modulation Distortion The loudspeaker shall be brought under free-field or half-space free-field condition. The measurement is taken meter from the speaker (on axis. Exciting with a two-tone signal the loudspeaker produces modulation distortion caused by amplitude and phase (frequency modulation. Both modulations will produce difference intermodulation components at frequencies f (n-f and summed-tone intermodulation distortion f +(n-f of nth-order centered around the voice tone f. The IEC standard 6068 defines the second-order modulation distortion d P( f f P( f P( f f *00 % and the third-order modulation distortion d 3 P ( f f P ( f P ( f f *00 % in percent. Using the 3D Distortion Measurement (DIS Requirements Setup The following hardware and software is required: Distortion Analyzer + PC Software module 3D Distortion Measurement (DIS + db-lab Microphone Connect the microphone to the input IN at the rear side of the Distortion Analyzer.
