STANAG 4529, CONFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURES (APR 2004)

STANAG 4529, CONFORMANCE TEST PROCEDURES (APR 2004)., The North Atlantic Treaty Organization Standardization Agreement (STANAG) 4529 establishes mandatory standards and design objectives that are necessary to ensure conformance for single-tone data modulators-demodulators (modems) for Maritime High Frequency (HF) radios, which establish links using 1240-Hertz (Hz) bandwidth signals. This document contains the test procedures that will be used to determine the level of compliance of single-tone data modems to the requirements of STANAG 4529. This test plan is intended to be generic and can be used to test any equipment that requires conformance to the STANAG 4529. If test item performance does not meet a requirement, the failure and its potential operational impact will be discussed in the follow-on test report and/or certification letter. Any requirement capabilities that are not implemented will also be discussed. The Joint Interoperability Test Command will conduct testing at Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
