PSQM Measurement 

Description: Perceptual 

measurement of speech quality according to ITU-T 

rec. P.861. Indicates call clarity. Includes highly optimized 
proprietary mapping from raw PSQM values to P.800 Mean 
Opinion Score (MOS) scale. Results can be directly compared 
to subjective listening tests. 

Algorithm standard:  

Based on standard ITU-T rec. P.861 

Sample rates:    

 

 

8 kHz and 16 kHz 

Sound file formats: 

WAVE-files containing A-law, mu-law, linear PCM (8 or 16 
bit) 

Max. duration of measurement signals: As defined by WAVE-format 

Gain Compensation: 

Maximum gain difference = ±60 dB 

Automatic Delay Compensation: 

 ±1000 ms 

Static Delay:  

Automatic Delay Compensation ±10 s 

Automated 

operation: 

  Supported 

Available Measurement Results: 

Timesignal, 
Spectrum, 
Excitation, 
Percentage of silent intervals during measurement (Silence), 
Percentage of time clipped frames during measurement (Time 
Clipped), 
Percentage of severely distorted frames during measurement 
(Sev. Distorted), 
PSQM according to P.861, silence weight = 0.0 (PSQM-W0), 
PSQM according to P.861, silence weight = 0.2 (PSQM-W2), 
PSQM according to P.861, silence weight = 0.4 (PSQM-W4), 
PSQM value of the silent intervals (PSQM-Silence), 
Mean Opinion Score (MOS), silence weight = 0.0 (OMOS-
W0), 
Mean Opinion Score (MOS), silence weight = 0.2 (OMOS-
W2), 
Mean Opinion Score (MOS), silence weight = 0.4 (OMOS-
W4), 
Mean Opinion Score (MOS) vs. Time, 
Delay between the Reference Signal and the output signal of 
the device under test, 
Attenuation of the test signal compared to the reference signal 

Additional Features: 

File-based measurements, 
Trigger functionality, 
Printing and graph exporting functionality,
