The 3db does not exist in the real world, the echoes do. So, you think it is acceptable that no mobile applications can receive 8VSB? -----Original Message----- From: opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:opendtv-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Doug McDonald Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 5:06 PM To: opendtv@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [opendtv] Re: Which Modulation Would You Choose on a really bad day? To reply to the subject line, I would choose whichever system gave the most bits at with the least problems with digital into digital co-channel and adjacent channel interference. This chooses ATSC over DVB-T. The reason is simple. A really bad day is one in which tropo ducting is strong. This fairly frequently causes, where I live, bad adjacent channel interference and more rarely co-channel. The 3 dB interference advantage of ATSC can really help.
