PISCATAWAY, N.J., USA,10 February 2009 -- The IEEE has approved a new standard, IEEE 1652™, "Standard for the Application of Free Field Acoustic Reference to Telephony Measurements." The standard provides the techniques and rationale for referencing acoustic telephony measurements to the free field.
Using IEEE 1652™ will help designers and manufacturers produce quality telephone terminals and, where appropriate, integrate them with other electroacoustic systems. It creates a common acoustic reference point for comparing the electroacoustic performance of handset, headset, hands-free and other kinds of telephone terminals. The standard also guides in comparing telephone terminals with other devices such as loudspeakers, mobile communication devices, multimedia terminals and consumer audio equipment.IEEE 1652™ was developed by the Subcommittee on Telephone Instrument Testing, and sponsored by the IEEE Communications Society Transmission Access & Optical Systems Committee.
