6. Test Procedures for all Technologies
ANSI C63.19-2011, Section 7
This document describes the procedures used to measure the ABM (T-Coil) performance of the WD. In addition to
measuring the absolute signal levels, the A-weighted magnitude of the unintended signal shall also be determined.
In order to assure that the required signal quality is measured, the measurement of the intended signal and the
measurement of the unintended signal must be made at the same location for all measurement positions. In
addition, the RF field strength at each measurement location must be at or below that required for the assigned
category.
Measurements shall not include undesired properties from the WD’s RF field; therefore, use of a coaxial connection
to a base station simulator or non-radiating load may be necessary. However, even then with a coaxial connection
to a base station simulator or non-radiating load there may still be RF leakage from the WD, which may interfere
with the desired measurement. Pre-measurement checks should be made to avoid this possibility. All
measurements shall be done with the WD operating on battery power with an appropriate normal speech audio
signal input level given in Table 7.1. If the device display can be turned off during a phone call then that may be
done during the measurement as well.
Measurements shall be performed at two locations specified in A.3, with the correct probe orientation for a
particular location, in a multistage sequence by first measuring the field intensity of the desired T-Coil signal
(ABM1) that is useful to a hearing aid T-Coil. The undesired magnetic components (ABM2) must be measured at
the same location as the desired ABM or T-Coil signal (ABM1), and the ratio of desired to undesired ABM signals
must be calculated. For the perpendicular field location, only the ABM1 frequency response shall be determined in
a third measurement stage. The flow chart in Figure 7.3 illustrates this three-stage, two orientation process.
                                                                              1            2
The following steps summarize the basic test flow for determining ABM1 and ABM2 . These steps assume that a
sine wave or narrowband 1/3 octave signal can be used for the measurement of ABM1.
      a. A validation of the test setup and instrumentation may be performed using a TMFS or Helmholtz coil.
         Measure the emissions and confirm that they are within the specified tolerance.
      b. Position the WD in the test setup and connect the WD RF connector to a base station simulator or a non-
         radiating load as shown in Figure 7.1 or Figure 7.2. Confirm that equipment that requires calibration has
         been calibrated, and that the noise level meets the requirements given in 7.3.1.
      c.   The drive level to the WD is set such that the reference input level specified in Table 7.1 is input to the
           base station simulator (or manufacturer’s test mode equivalent) in the 1 kHz, 1/3 octave band. This drive
           level shall be used for the T-Coil signal test (ABM1) at f = 1 kHz. Either a sine wave at 1025 Hz or a voice-
           like signal, band-limited to the 1 kHz 1/3 octave, as defined in 7.4.2, shall be used for the reference audio
           signal. If interference is found at 1025 Hz an alternative nearby reference audio signal frequency may be
           used.46 The same drive level will be used for the ABM1 frequency response measurements at each 1/3
           octave band center frequency. The WD volume control may be set at any level up to maximum, provided
           that a signal at any frequency at maximum modulation would not result in clipping or signal overload.
      d. Determine the magnetic measurement locations for the WD device (A.3), if not already specified by the
         manufacturer, as described in 7.4.4.1.1 and 7.4.4.2.

    e. At each measurement location, measure and record the desired T-Coil magnetic signals (ABM1 at fi) as
       described in 7.4.4.2 in each individual ISO 266-1975 R10 standard 1/3 octave band. The desired audio
       band input frequency (fi) shall be centered in each 1/3 octave band maintaining the same drive level as
       determined in item c) and the reading taken for that band.
                 Equivalent methods of determining the frequency response may also be employed, such as fast
                 Fourier transform (FFT) analysis using noise excitation or input–output comparison using simulated
                 speech. The full-band integrated or half-band integrated probe output, as specified in D.9, may be
                 used, as long as the appropriate calibration curve is applied to the measured result, so as to yield
                 an accurate measurement of the field magnitude. (The resulting measurement shall be an accurate
                 measurement in dB A/m.)
                 All measurements of the desired signal shall be shown to be of the desired signal and not of an
                 undesired signal. This may be shown by turning the desired signal ON and OFF with the probe
                 measuring the same location. If the scanning method is used the scans shall show that all
                 measurement points selected for the ABM1 measurement meet the ambient and test system noise
                 criteria in 7.3.1.
    f.   At the measurement location for each orientation, measure and record the undesired broadband audio
         magnetic signal (ABM2) as specified in 7.4.4.4 with no audio signal applied (or digital zero applied, if
         appropriate) using A-weighting and the half-band integrator. Calculate the ratio of the desired to undesired
         signal strength (i.e., signal quality).
    g. Obtain the data from the postprocessor, SEMCAD, and determine the category that properly classifies the
       signal quality based on Table 8.5.

7. Audio Level and Gain Measurements
Establish a call and obtain the 1 kHz speech output signal at 3.14 dBm0 from the CMU200 using the Network
Bitstream “Decoder Cal.” Perform a measurement job to measure the RMS Coil Signal. Note the voltage level and
calculate the desired level for GSM/W-CDMA and CDMA, which are, according to ANSI C63.19-2011 Section
7.4.2.1, -16 dBm0 and -18 dBm0 respectively. To determine the appropriate audio level, use the following
equations, where x dBm0 is the measured RMS Coil Signal:

        GSM/W-CDMA
        Audio Level(-16 dBm0) = ((-16 dBm0) - (3.14 dBm0)) + x dBv

                  3.14                                                      -2.54

Change the Network Bitstream from “Decoder Cal” to “Encoder Cal.” Similarly, run a measurement job with the
“Encoder Cal” codec active and set the Gain in the measurement job to 10. Note the RMS Coil signal. To calculate
the gain, the following equation was used, where y dBm0 is the measured RMS Coil Signal for the “Encoder Cal”
measurement:

        GSM/W-CDMA
        Gain(-16 dBm0) = 10((Audio Lev el-16 dBm0 – y   dBm0) / 20)
                                                                      * 10

Finally, to determine the required gain for testing, we multiply the resultant gain with the required gain to achieve an
approximate level of a 1 kHz sine signal.

measured is -21.81 dBV. The gain was manually adjusted until the Audio Level matched the original. The gain
used for this project is 65.76.

VoLTE
No correction gain factors were measured for VoLTE due to the Rohde & Schwarz CMW500, Serial No. 125236,
hosting a calibrated audio board. The gains used to measure VoLTE are set to100.

The following software/firmware was used to simulate the VoLTE server for testing:

Change the Network Bitstream from “Decoder Cal” to “Encoder Cal.” Similarly, run a measurement job with the
“Encoder Cal” codec active and set the Gain in the measurement job to 10. Note the RMS Coil signal. To calculate
the gain, the following equation was used, where y dBm0 is the measured RMS Coil Signal for the “Encoder Cal”
measurement:

        CDMA
        Gain(-18 dBm0) = 10((Audio Lev el-18 dBm0 – y   dBm0) / 20)
                                                                      * 10

Finally, to determine the required gain for testing, we multiply the resultant gain with the required gain to achieve an
approximate level of a 1 kHz sine signal.

* Adjustments were made to -18 dBm0’s 48k_voice_1kHz and 48k_voice_300-3000. When the gain is set to 27.71
and 54.27, the Audio Levels are -23.66 and -21.15 dBV respectively. The gain was manually adjusted until the
Audio Levels matched the original. The gains used for this project are 27.77 and 40.74 for 48k_voice_1kHz and
48k_voice_300-3000 respectively.

8. T-coil Measurement Criteria
8.1. Frequency Response
The frequency response of the axial component of the magnetic field, measured in 1/3 octave bands, shall follow
the response curve, over the frequency range 300 Hz to 3000 Hz.
Figure 8.1 and Figure 8.2 provide the boundaries for the specified frequency. These response curves are for true
field strength measurements of the T-Coil signal. Thus the 6 dB/octave probe response has been corrected from
the raw readings.

8.2. Signal to Noise
This specifies the signal-to-noise quality requirement for the intended T-Coil signal from a WD. The worst signal to
noise of the two T-Coil signal measurements, as determined in Clause 7, shall be used to determine the T-Coil
mode category per Table 8.5.
Only the RF immunity of the hearing aid is measured in T-Coil mode. It is assumed that a hearing aid can have no
immunity to an interference signal in the audio band, which is the intended reception band for this mode. So, the
only criterion that can be measured is the RF immunity in T-Coil Mode. This is measured using the same procedure
as for the audio coupling mode and at the same levels as specified in 6.4.
