8VSB

8VSB is the modulation method used for broadcast in the ATSC digital television standard.

Key among these is the 8VSB modulation system used for over-the-air broadcasts.

8VSB is the modulation method used for broadcast in the ATSC digital television standard.

8VSB is an 8-level vestigial sideband modulation.

It may also be used in digital transmission, such as the ATSC standardized 8VSB.

There are also similar modulations 2VSB, 4VSB, and 16VSB.

Other slower but more rugged forms of VSB include 2VSB, 4VSB, and 8VSB.

Vestigial sideband modulation (VSB) is a modulation method which attempts to eliminate the spectral redundancy of pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM) signals.

This system, known as 8VSB, is based on an eight-level PAM.

Early 8VSB DTV (digital television) receivers often had difficulty receiving a signal in urban environments.

16VSB was notably intended to be used for ATSC digital cable, but quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) has become the de facto industry standard instead as it is cheap and readily available.

Some MATV systems may carry 8-VSB and QAM signals, mostly in apartment buildings and similar facilities that use a combination of terrestrial antennas and cable distribution sources (such as HITS or "Headend in the Sky", a unit of Comcast that delivers digital channels by satellite to small cable systems).

ATSC and 8VSB modulation is used primarily in North America; in contrast, the DVB-T standard uses COFDM.

The question of the relative technical merits of COFDM versus 8VSB for terrestrial digital television has been a subject of some controversy, especially between European and North American technologists and regulators.

Several "enhanced" VSB systems were in development, most notably E-VSB, A-VSB, and MPH.

ATSC and DVB-T specify the modulation used for over-the-air digital television; by comparison, QAM is the modulation method used for cable.

8VSB is capable of transmitting three bits (2 3 =8) per symbol; in ATSC, each symbol includes two bits from the MPEG transport stream which are trellis modulated to produce a three-bit figure.

The resulting signal is then band-pass filtered with a Nyquist filter to remove redundancies in the side lobes, and then shifted up to the broadcast frequency.

In the 6 MHz (megahertz) channel used for broadcast ATSC, 8VSB carries a symbol rate of 10.76 megabaud, a gross bit rate of 32 Mbit/s, and a net bit rate of 19.39 Mbit/s of usable data.
