Appendix C
Figure C‐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 selected), 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.
