DVB-S2 Error Rate Performance ES/No (C/N) Ratio

DVB-S2 Error Rate Performance Es/No (C/N) Ratio

Note: “Typical performance” was measured with Pilots On. Pilots On is highly
recommended as the performance values typically degrade up to 0.9 dB with Pilots
Off. Pilots On must be used for 8PSK 3/5, 8PSK 2/3 and 8PSK 3/4.
