Chapter 6. FORWARD ERROR CORRECTION OPTIONS

6.1Introduction

As standard, the Modem is equipped with three Forward Error Correction encoders/decoders – Viterbi, concatenated Reed-Solomon and Trellis (which is available with the 8-PSK FAST option). The constraint lengths and encoding polynomials are not only Open Network compatible (IESS-315), but are also Closed Network compatible with the vast majority of existing modems from other manufacturers. Comtech EF Data has performed compatibility testing to ensure inter-operability.

Turbo Coding represents a very significant development in the area of FEC, and optionally, the modem may be fitted with a Turbo Product Codec. They are plug-in daughter cards (SIMM modules) that are field upgradeable. The codec provides data rate capability up to 20 Mbps, and code rates of:

•Rate 5/16 (BPSK

•Rate 21/44 (BPSK, QPSK)

•Rate 3/4, and 7/8 (QPSK, 8-PSK, and 16-QAM)

•Rate 17/18 (QPSK and 8-PSK)

Turbo Product Coding provides one of the best Forward Error Correction technologies currently available, and is now offered with a sufficient range of code rates and modulation types that link performance can be optimized under any conditions.
