ABSTRACT:
Accurate and reliable measurements of transmission parameters, e.g., envelope delay distortion or frequency response, of a network or facility (105) are obtained in a test system (FIG. 1) employing digital data acquisition units (121) by utilizing a unique test signal including a plurality of tones. A set of test signals is transmitted over the facility (105), a set of measurements is made of the received version for each test signal, each set of measurements is time averaged, and an ensemble of time-averaged sets of measurements is used to generate the desired measurements of the transmission parameters. System efficiency is enhanced by measuring prescribed transmission impairments, e.g., nonlinear distortion (3OID), signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and frequency shift (FS) on the facility under evaluation and dynamically determining test system parameters in accordance with predetermined relationships with the measured impairments (FIGS. 5, 6 and 7), namely, the number (D) of test signals in the set of test signals, the maximum number (T) of consecutive measurements to be time-averaged, the required number of measurements (M) and the number of time-averaged measurements to be made in order to obtain a desired measurement accuracy.
