The sending part shall meet the following distortion requirements:
Distortion shall be measured between the MRP and the SS audio output (output of the reference speech decoder of the SS). The ratio of signal-to-total distortion power measured with the proper noise weighting (see Table 4 of ITU-T Recommendation G.223) shall be above the limits given in Table 31.
Limits for intermediate levels are found by drawing straight lines between the breaking points in table 31 on a linear (dB signal level) - linear (dB ratio) scale.
Compliance of the sending distortion shall be checked by the test described in TS 26.132.
The receiving part between the SS audio input (input of the reference speech encoder of the SS) and the applicable acoustic measurement point (DRP with diffuse-field correction for handset and headset modes; free field correction for hands-free modes) shall meet the requirements in this sub-clause at the nominal setting of the volume control (except where another volume setting is specified):
The ratio of signal-to-total distortion power measured with the proper noise weighting (see Table 4 of ITU-T Recommendation G.223) shall be above the limits given in Table 32 when the sound pressure at the applicable acoustic measurement point is < 10 dBPa. For a sound pressure ≥ 10 dBPa at the applicable acoustic measurement point there is no distortion requirement.
(*)For levels -40 and -45 dBm0 a lower signal-to-total distortion ratio may not be possible, and hence would not be regarded as a failing result. However, the obtained results would be reported.
Limits for intermediate levels are found by drawing straight lines between the breaking points in the table on a linear (dB signal level) - linear (dB ratio) scale.
Compliance of the receiving distortion shall be checked by the appropriate method in TS 26.132.
The sending part shall meet the following distortion requirements:
Distortion shall be measured between the MRP and the SS audio output (output of the reference speech decoder of the SS). The ratio of signal-to-total distortion power measured with the proper noise weighting (see Table 4 of ITU-T Recommendation G.223) shall be above the limits given in Table 32a1 for electrical interface UE with analogue connection and Table 32a2 for electrical interface UE with digital connection.

The ratio of signal to total distortion power measured with the proper noise weighting (see Table 4 of ITU-T Recommendation G.223) shall be above the limits given in Table 32b.

Limits for intermediate levels are found by drawing straight lines between the breaking points in Table 32b on a linear (dB signal level) - linear (dB ratio) scale.
Compliance of the receiving distortion shall be checked by the appropriate method in TS 26.132.
For sending, in handset mode, the UE shall reduce the ambient noise picked up by the microphone(s) without significantly degrading the quality of the speech signal.
