Performance with Noise Turbo Product Codec (Optional)
Table 1-11 lists the Turbo Codec specification for performance. All values are for
operating in 8-PSK mode. Refer to Figure 1-10 for Turbo Product Codec Values.

Note:
5/16 BPSK is included for compatibility with other equipment but implementation
limitations prohibit optimum performance at low Eb/No. Performance is virtually error
free above 4 dB Eb/No. Performance below 4dB Eb/No is not guaranteed. Rate 1/2
(21/44) has implementation limits. It will not reliably work below 3 dB Eb/No.
