The IRIG standard calls out six variants of LDPC codes
—
all combinations of two different information block sizes
(k=4096 bits and k=1024 bits) and three different code rates (r=1/2, r=2/3, and r=4/5).
LD6 Code
Block Size and Code Rate
0
k=4096, r=1/2
1
k=1024, r=1/2
2
k=4096, r=2/3
3
k=1024, r=2/3
4
k=4096, r=4/5
5
k=1024, r=4/5
With the LD6 option
, use LD 0 or 1 to disable or enable LDPC, then use 0-5 to indicate the desired LDPC code. A
space is required between the disable/enable code and the desired LDPC selection, as shown in the examples.
Examples:
LD 0
Disable the LDPC encoder
LD 1 0 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=4096, r=1/2
LD 1 1 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=1024, r=1/2
LD 1 2 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=4096, r=2/3
LD 1 3 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=1024, r=2/3
LD 1 4 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=4096, r=4/5
LD 1 5 Enable the LDPC encoder and set the block size and code rate to k=1024, r=4/5
4.2.3.1.5 LDPC Header Select
–
LHS
The LHS command sets the header to use with Low Density Parity Check (LDPC) coding on a transmitter. Valid
settings are 0 through 6, however code 6 is for Quasonix internal use only.
0 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 0
0 // LDPC k=4096 r=1/2
1 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 1
1 // LDPC k=1024 r=1/2
2 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 2
2 // LDPC k=4096 r=2/3
3 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 3
3 // LDPC k=1024 r=2/3
4 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 4
4 // LDPC k=4096 r=4/5
5 - SOQPSK/LDPC code 5
5 // LDPC k=1024 r=4/5
6 - iNet test code 6 (Quasonix internal)
6 // inet M.R. test
