455-1985 - IEEE Standard Test Procedure for Measuring Longitudinal Balance of Telephone Equipment Operating in the Voice Band
Description: The purpose of this standard is threefold: to define the basic requirements of a test circuit which can be used to measure longitudinal balance. This test circuit will be capable of yielding consistent and repeatable test results; to define test conditions to be established while using the test circuit. Standard test conditions are considered vital for obtaining consistent results from a suitable circuit; to describe standard test procedures to be followed when the test circuit is operated. This standard specifies the elements of the test circuit only in general terms to allow considerable freedom when a test set is being designed. It thereby precludes the possibility that only one set of circuit elements will be capable of meeting the standard.
