Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. Public Broadcasting Service September 16, 1994 ..;, • No. of Copies rec'd / ListABCDE --- ABSTRACT This document reports the results of broadcast and cable field tests on the VSB transmission system designed and built by the HDTV GrandAlliance. Conducted over several months by the FCC's Advisory Committee on Advanced Television Service, the tests were designed to compare 8VSB's broadcast coverage and 16 VSB's cable robustness to the performance of the current U. S. television system, NTSC. Additional field tests on the complete Grand Alliance HDTV system will be conducted subsequent to laboratory testing next year. The broadcast results indicate that the A TV transmission system performance was significantly better than NTSC. In the UHF band, satisfactory reception forA TV was found at 92% oflocations compared to 76% for NTSC. In the VHF band, A TV was satisfactorily received at twice as many locations as NTSC. The A TV average power was 12 dB below the NTSC peak power. In addition, the 8VSB system performed well under the real world conditions of multipath, impulse noise and other propagation phenomena, and in limited indoor reception testing. The cable test results were equally encouraging. At sites where cable connections meet FCC specifications, a significant power margin above receiver noise was measured.
