TUNE - Instrumental and reproducible evaluation of audio signals from FM radio broadcasts

Enquiry Item

The reception of audio signals from radio broadcasts under dynamic conditions may be disturbed in various ways as often experienced in driving situations. Noises and “pops”, for example are audible and annoying. These disturbances are caused by bad radio reception conditions such as loss of transmission energy. The stand-alone analysis software TUNE allows automatical and reproducible evaluation of radio broadcast impairment effects to the audio signal. The evaluation is conducted in a lab based on auditory tests. The analyzer software provides various sound environment scenarios for the evaluation (for example different car cabins).

 

The hearing-adequate analytical model of TUNE is capable to analyze the processed audio output of receivers while considering human perception of typical disturbances. Thus, the analysis software provides results with high correlation.
