B. Syatem Signal;to-Nolse Eatio -- In order to provide televiEion signale
hayj.t8 the highest order of broadcast quality, it is necessary that the SysteE
haintaln a slgual-to-uoise ratlo in excegg of 44 db. The Signal=to-noise ratlo car'
be neasured by procee&lng as fo]-love:
(1) Insert a CW test siStra1 r at the input to the dlstrlbution systen, and'
adJust the si6na1 to normal systen input 1eve1 oi each vid'eo ard audio canier of
each cha.Enel to be used on the systen. During this teat nornal video and audio

uDder test. Note the reading obtalned on the neter.
(]) I{o, tune the field otrength neter to nid-channel of each'video atrd audio
channel u:ader teet. In the abseace of sigaal, lote the reading obtained. A
hj-ghly selective field strength neter is aeceasary to neasure a ei6nal-to-noise ratio
of 44 db and for the proper separation of carrierE.(4) rue difference between the tvo readings rrill give the systern si.gnal-to-
