In a digital reception system for satellite signals (DVB-S), after the QPSK decoder
two different correction methods are applied (see following Figure). Obviously, each time
we apply an error corrector to a digital signal, the error rate changes, therefore if we
measure in a digital satellite television system, for example, the error rate at the output of
the QPSK demodulator, at the output of the Viterbi decoder, and at the output of the
Reed-Solomon decoder, we obtain nothing more than different error rates. This is the
reason because the BER measurement is provided before FEC, after Viterbi (VBER).
