FM Microphone Sensitivity and Modulation Limiting Measurement
Description
This procedure is used to measure an FM Transmitter’s audio input
sensitivity, and modulation limiting capability (if available).
Modulation limiting is verified over the Transmitter’s audio frequency
range. FM reference is ANSI/EIA-RS-152-C-1988 RS-316-B.
