System Gain vs FEC Coding
This table shows the relationship between modulation, FEC coding, system gain, capacity and coverage.
• Maximum FEC coding results in the highest system gain, the best coverage but the least capacity
• Minimum FEC coding results in lower system gain, lower coverage but higher capacity
• No FEC coding results in the lowest system gain, the lowest coverage but the highest capacity
This table defines the modulation order based on gross capacity:
