Hi, I'm currently try to develop an 8-VSB demodulator (for ATSC terestrial digital TV). I saw that there is a simple way to covert to 8-VSB signal to 64-QAM (offset QAM, to be more precise). My question is: is demodulating QAM is more cost-efficient than woking directly on VSB signal? (by means of equalization, synchronization etc') Thanks!
