Abstract

Tests were conducted to determine whether an analog ENG system using a 12 MHz channel bandwidth can provide a quality of service equivalent to that of existing analog ENG systems using 17 and 18 MHz channel bandwidths. The performance of both systems was compared under controlled conditions similar to those found in real-life transmission channels. Conclusions about the replication of the service obtained are based on differences in transmission robustness, video and audio signal quality, and adjacent channel degradation
