Abstract :
The developmental aspects and technical characteristics of the ATSC RF transmission standard ("8-VSB") are presented. An exposition is given of the planning and allocation methods that were developed, which are generally applicable to the introduction of a simulcast DTV service independent of the type of modulation used. Additional modulation enhancements (E-VSB)are explained. Techniques for implementation of distributed networks of on-channel transmitters are introduced along with references to some specific applications of these techniques.
