2)
Code Rate
Also known as Viterbi ratio. It defines the ratio between the number of data bits
and actual transmission bits (the difference corresponds to the control bits for
error detection and correction).
It permits to choose between 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 5/6, 6/7, 7/8, 8/9 and Auto. If
Code Rate parameter is not known it is possible to assign the Auto option.
3)
Spectral Inv.
If necessary, activate the Spectral inversion. Reception will be bad if spectral
inversion has been incorrectly selected.
4)
Attenuator
It permits to select attenuation between 0 and 30 dB. It is advisable to activate
the 30 dB attenuator under that measurement conditions where the signal level
is near to the maximum input level (approximately starting from 20 dB under the
maximum level) and it is possible that the tuner becomes saturated. Under no-
saturation conditions, when increasing the attenuation value the BER measure
must to maintain or to increase (insufficient signal level) but never to decrease.
Once you have defined the QPSK signal parameters, it will be possible to
measure the BER. When the BER measuring mode is selected, the monitor will show a
picture like the following:
Figure 17.- BER measuring screen for QPSK modulated signals.
Two BER measurements are shown:
1) BER before FEC (Forward Error Corrections)
2) BER after Viterbi
