Telephone Test Head Type 45AA

Home Contact Events Updates Jobs Index

The Telephone Test Head Type 45AA is a tailor-made fixture for testing the acoustic performance of telephone handsets in accordance with international standards and recommendations.

The design of the Type 45AA combines precision with a robust construction to ensure stability and reproducible test results with a minimum of acoustic interference.

When used with an Artificial Ear Type 43AD or an Ear Simulator Type 43AE, and a Mouth Simulator Type 44AA/44AB, it can be set up for testing telephone handsets in accordance with ITU-T recommendations.

Positioning of the mouth
Four different, detachable precision brackets are provided for mounting the Mouth Simulator according to the standardised positions shown in the table for speaking into a telephone. These positions are maintained to within an accuracy of 1 mm. Reference gauges are available for verifying this.

Speaking Position	Recommendation
LRGP	ITU-T Rec. P76
AEN	ITU-T Rec. P76
HATS	ITU-T P58
REF	OREM A

Anti-vibration Mounts
The Type 45AA stands on four anti-vibration mounts to isolate it from extraneous vibrations which could otherwise lead to spurious measurement results.

Handset Alignment
The Type 45AA is provided with graduated guides and stops for aligning a telephone handset correctly in position over the Artificial Ear. Lateral guides are independently adjustable to cater for asymmetrical handsets.

Once aligned, an adjustable spring-loaded, padded clamp will hold the handset in position. As specified in some tests, an adjustable force may also be applied by adding a small mass to the measurement object.
