Abstract
This paper presents and analyzes field test results of E-VSB(Enhanced-VSB) system proposed by Zenith/ATl and adopted ATSC standard. In the field test, according to types of antennas we measured reception possibility, noise margin, ease of reception to analyze performance improvement of E-VSB system at each outdoor/indoor test point. Also, we verify a backward compatibility between E-VSB and conventional 8-VSB system and check selection of test point, and configuration of transmitter and test vehicle. By the field test results, E-VSB system did not only outperform over 8-VSB system at severe multipath environment such as indoor reception, but also verified backward compatibility with it.
