Abstract
Advanced Television Systems Committee (ATSC) is the Digital Terrestrial Television (DTT) standard developed in the United States of America in the 90s. Recently, the new international standard for digital multimedia broadcasting: ATSC 3.0 has been published. ATSC 3.0 is based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). It is well-known that OFDM allows the implementation of single frequency networks (SFN s), under certain design considerations, e.g. the guard interval (GI) duration. On the contrary, the design and performance of SFNs with ATSC 1.0 mainly depends on the ability of the receiver equalizer to overcome multipath from different transmitters. In the possible, but oncoming, transition from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0 the use of SFN s will be an interesting option. In this paper, two scenarios of operating ATSC 1.0 transmitters in Mexico were studied to analyze the possible necessary trade-off in coverage probability and network requirements during the transition from ATSC 1.0 to ATSC 3.0.
