John, I can no longer find a working link to the original report, but my saved copy's executive summary said this: "VSB and COFDM equipment was solicited from manufacturers for use in this program. Because there is no COFDM system currently employed in the U.S., equipment currently in use abroad had to be configured for the U.S. 6 MHz channel spacing. The parameters of the COFDM system were chosen to yield the same approximate net data rate as the VSB system (19.76 Mb/s for COFDM compared to the 8VSB net data rate of 19.39 Mb/s). The COFDM equipment complied with the DVB-T standard while VSB equipment complied with the ATSC DTV Standard. Laboratory evaluation of several candidate modulators and receivers was initially performed to select the best equipment available and confirm the expected performance of the units to be used in the field. " The lab was CRC.
