For the Burst Noise test specified in Technical Appendix 1, Item 13 how should the average power of the noise be measured?
The average noise power of the white noise source should be measured before any gating is applied. The average noise power of the white noise source before gating should be 5 dB below the average power of the DTV signal. Both the average noise power and average signal power are to be measured in the 6 MHz channel under test. Alternate measurement methods proposed by manufacturers may be considered by NTIA.
