Broadcom's Advanced 'Plug-and-Play' Digital TV Receiver Chip Sets New Performance Standard for Digital Television Broadcasting (I'm sure this URL will get mangled) http://www.prnewswire.com/cgi-bin/stories.plACCT=SVBIZINK8.story&STORY=/www/story/04-22-2004/0002157487&EDATE=THU+Apr+22+2004,+09:01+AM 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." ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can UNSUBSCRIBE from the OpenDTV list in two ways: - Using the UNSUBSCRIBE command in your user configuration settings at FreeLists.org - By sending a message to: opendtv-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
