Abstract
A two-tone test signal method for calibrating a BTSC monitoring system compensates for errors introduced into the monitoring system by unpredictable high frequency components of noise when testing the low frequency performance characteristics of the monitoring system. The two-tone test signal has a low frequency tone and a lower level high frequency tone which overrides the high frequency component of noise. The two-tone test signal is synthesized according to the BTSC specification to produce a 'perfect' left-only signal for both tones.
