Philips Semiconductors
Terrestrial digital sound decoder for
conventional intercarrier PLL-IF systems
Preliminary specification
SAA7284
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
Bit Error Rate (BER)
Table 17 shows input signal conditions which typically produce bit error rates of less than 10−3. Signal levels given in dB
are related to the picture carrier reference level (0 dB) and based on the output level of the set up as shown in Fig.8.
All measurements are at RF and using Philips Semiconductors SAA7284 Applications Board.

INPUT SIGNAL CONDITIONS(1)
Picture carrier RF level (FM deviation = ±50 kHz)
NICAM level with respect to picture carrier (FM deviation = ±50 kHz)
FM overmodulation
Notes
1. Measurements made with colour bar at 100% modulation.
a) FM level = −10 dB system I; −13 dB system BG.
b) NICAM level = −20 dB (unless otherwise specified).
2. 10 dB sound shelf with extended bandwidth for NICAM signal.
3. 14 dB sound shelf with extended bandwidth for NICAM signal.
