Already covered that too, Craig. As long as working examples have been
demoed, as far as I'm concerned, the technical issues are resolved. In spite
of your vague comments.
And what kind of antenna was used in these demos Bert?
Pleas be specific - although I doubt you have a clue.
Oh, and just by the way, antennas are a function of frequency band, i.e.
wavelength, not modulation. Antenna issues won't change appreciably, be it
ATSC 1.0, 2.0, or 3.0.
Yup! That's why it is unlikely you will ever see ATSC chips in popular smart
phones.
To be fair, the antenna issue is more complex than the length of the required
dipole. It is also impacted by the modulation system and transmission
infrastructure.
By the way, your claim that working examples have already been demoed is
correct. But the demo had nothing to do with embedding ATSC 3.0 into a mobile
device.

The ATSC 3.0 wireless network antenna is based on an LG-developed
uni-directional antenna array with unique electronic steering logic designed
to optimize indoor reception. LG is integrating a chip-based ATSC 3.0
tuner-demodulator with the antenna, which can be placed virtually anywhere in
the home – in the attic, in a window, in a closet – wherever reception is
best.
The steerable network antenna is coupled with a network interface to
communicate with the in-home WiFi router to allow connected devices to blend
ATSC 3.0 signals and services with over-the-top Internet-delivered content.
The Wireless Network Antenna also is designed to receive current "ATSC 1.0"
DTV transmissions and similarly route them to an array of consumer devices.
Not exactly a demo of mobile reception...

Craig
