Figure 35.- Screen of CBER measurement (QPSK signals).
In a digital reception system for satellite signals, 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 (CBER) and after
Viterbi (VBER).
