Forward error correction encoding
The following is a list of the forward error correction (FEC)
encoding methods supported by the UMOD channel coding
section:
•
Rate 1/2, 3/4, and 7/8 convolutional encoding (K=7)
•
Rate 1/2 and 3/4 convolutional encoding (K=36)
•
Rate 1/2 and 3/4 concatenated Viterbi and Reed-Solomon
encoding
•
4-level interleaver used with Reed-Solomon encoder (per
IESS-308)
TES shuffler
This circuit is included as part of the UMOD channel coding to
allow compatible operation within a TES network.
Modulator interface (preamble and postamble insertion)
This circuit is included as part of the UMOD channel coding to
allow compatible operation within a TES network.
