Abstract

This paper presents and analyses field test results of the Enhanced-VSB (E-VSB) system proposed by Zenith/ATI and adopted as an Advanced Television Standard Committee (ATSC) standard. The possibility of successful reception at outdoor and indoor test points according to types of antennas, noise margin, and ease of reception are measured to analyse performance improvement of the E-VSB system. Verification of backward compatibility between the E-VSB and conventional 8-VSB systems, selection of test points, and configurations of the transmitter and the test vehicle are also presented. The field test results show that the E-VSB system does not only outperform the 8-VSB system at severe multipath environment such as indoor reception, but also is fully backward compatible with it
