Example: In the above diagram, the (Co+No)/No measured is 4.6 dB. If Rate 1/2 QPSK is used,
this corresponds to an E
table values is as follows:
E /N =10log
b 0 10
Where:
E /N
•
b 0
bits/symbol = 1 for BPSK;
•
bits/symbol = 2 for QPSK;
•
bits/symbol = 3 for 8-PSK/8-QAM;
•
bits/symbol = 4 for 16-QAM;
•
FEC Code Rate for 'uncoded' = 1.
•
Note: Pay close attention to the sign of the middle term.
See Chapter 12. ESC++ for details of how the Eb/No performance degrades when
ESC++ is used, particularly at lower data rates, where the percentage overhead is
high.
