* Es/No for short FECFrame is about 0.3 dB higher than the standard. Values in the table are
approximate.
** Taken at the -10 dB points on the plot of power spectral density, the occupied bandwidth is
1.19 x Symbol Rate for 35% and 1.15 x Symbol Rate for 25%
*** Includes implementation loss.
Figures 7-1 through 7-7 illustrate the error performance characteristics. To convert Es/No to Eb/No
use Eb/No = Es/No - 10xLog(Spectral Efficiency).
