The performance of the VersaFEC codes compared with the Shannon bound is shown in Figure B-1.
This puts the performance of VersaFEC at or near the DVB-S2 performance with 16 kbit blocks.
Note that SNR is used in place of Eb/No – a convention for comparing ACM ModCods. SNR is
defined as Eb/No + 10
VersaFEC ACM requires the appropriate FAST code for the maximum operating
symbol rate.
