Description
Summary:This paper presents the results of tests performed by the Communications Research Center Canada (CRC) to investigate the on-channel repeater (OCR) for digital television broadcasting services using the ATSC-8VSB transmission standard. The focus has been to study the areas where the coverage of the OCR overlaps with the main transmitter. The factors involved in successful reception in these areas and their impact on the design and configuration of this kind of repeater are identified and discussed.
