This Recommendation describes arrangements for measuring the following parameters:
- longitudinal conversion loss;
- transverse conversion loss;
- longitudinal conversion transfer loss;
- transverse conversion transfer loss;
- input longitudinal interference loss;
- common-mode rejection;
- output signal balance.
In practice, the above parameters are the seven most significant unbalance parameters. Limits for
these parameters, special considerations for terminating impedances and the measurement
frequencies to be used are given in the relevant Recommendation for the item under test.
This Recommendation is in agreement with the principles, the nomenclature and the definitions,
addressed in Recommendation G. 1 17 [ 11, which considers the transmission aspects of unbalance
about earth. References are made in the following clauses to the appropriate parts of
Recommendation G. 1 17 [i].
In clause 5, guidance is given regarding the construction of a test bridge along with values of the
required components.
