Turbo Product Codes Performance
The typical performance with the optional Turbo Product Codes FEC is shown in the tables below.
The Eb/No values shown are those referenced to the customer data rate at the decoder output.
Performance would appear improved if measured relative to the decoder input (i.e. at the satellite
data rate). All values shown are using the synchronous TPC scrambler.
