Figure 7-6. Spectral Efficiency Vs. Modem Es/No @ Qef (Pruned Modcods) - Comtech EF Data CDM-750 Installation And Operation Manual

CDM-750 Advanced High-Speed Trunking Modem
Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) Option
Figure 7-6 presents a practical set of ModCods based on ModCod selection. The pruned or
inactive ModCods are shown along the baseline of the plot. The transition to the next higher
ModCod is the Es/No (spec) + Es/No Target Margin (user selected) + hysteresis (0.5 dB) +
modulation impairment (user slected), while a step down is the Es/No (spec) + Es/No Target
Margin + modulation impairment. In the example, the Target Es/No Margin and Modulation
Impairment are zero.
