Excerpt:

The BCM3520 implements a unique system architecture that enables the
receiver to reliably acquire, track and demodulate signals in the presence of
interference and a wide range of varying multi-path channel conditions with
the presence of noise.  Based on independent testing by Communications
Research Centre (CRC) in Canada, the BCM3520 exceeds current levels of VSB
performance for reliable signal reception.  "We have subjected Broadcom's
BCM3520 to an extensive list of test conditions and the performance under a
variety of severe multi-path channel conditions is remarkable," said Yiyan Wu,
Principal Research Scientist at Communications Research Centre (CRC), Canada.
"The BCM3520 has acquired and tracked signals under fast dynamic multi-path
and fading channel test conditions under which all other VSB receivers that
we've tested have failed."
