Note
: BPSK 5/16 rate Turbo is included for compatibility with other Comtech EF Data
equipment. However, implementation limitations prohibit optimum performance at
Eb/No values below 4.0 dB. Performance is virtually error free above 4.0 dB Eb/No, and
operation below this level is not recommended.

Note
: {O}QPSK 1/2 Rate Turbo requires additional frame overhead. When
computing symbol rates for {O}QPSK 1/2 Rate, use an additional factor of 22/21
(e.g.: SR = [DR * 2/1 * 22/21] / 2).
