F.4Summary
The use of Helmholtz coils for probe or sensor calibration is summarized as follows:
-
Helmholtz coils may be used to volumes with dimensions of 0.6 r for highly accurate probe or sensor calibration.
-
Helmholtz coils should be used in the series-aiding connection, but may be used in the parallel-aiding connection if necessary—with extra current controls and precautions.
-
Balance the products NI in the two coils for maximum accuracy.
-
Consider Helmholtz coils a primary standard; they can be calibrated by ruler.

RF envelope comparison for U.S. WD systems G.1Introduction
The purpose of this annex is to outline the similarities and differences between the current cellular systems being used in the U.S. The discussion is tailored towards the information that is pertinent to the issue of hearing aid compatibility, when addressing the issue of interference to hearing aids from digital cellular phones. There is one major analog and several digital cellular systems on the air currently in the U.S. They are advanced mobile phone systems (AMPSs) (IS-91A), NADC (IS-136), PCS1900 (JTC007), iDEN, and CDMA (IS-95). The following discussion will review each of these systems, highlighting their operation as it relates to the time domain transmitter signatures. Table G.1 shows a summary of the relevant parameters of each of these systems.

pi/4 QPSK modulation has eight modulation phase states, which travel in an irregular path between states, resulting in a small of AM content.
-
GMSK modulation has four modulation phase states which travel in a circular path between states, resulting in no AM content.
-
OQPSK modulation has four modulation phase states which travel in an irregular path between states thus resulting in a large AM content.
