Applications:
This signal combination is mainly used as a test line for automatic measurement and
monitoring of TV signals. The luminance bar also serves as amplitude reference for
automatic level control.
The following distortions can be measured using the IRS signal:
•
Luminance bar:
distortion, level error, line time waveform, overshoot and rounding.
•
2T pulse:
group delay, amplitude error, pulse distortion, and reflections.
•
20T pulse:
amplitude and delay difference between luminance and chrominance.
For details, see Figures below.
•
Staircase luminance signal:
static nonlinearity, amplitude nonlinearity.
