3.4.3.3.4. Turbo-Code
This processing provides the capabilities corresponding to the encoding recommended in § 5 of CCSDS 131.0-
B-3. The corresponding decoding is license dependent. The minimum code rate: 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 or 1/6 is resource
dependent.
The Turbo-encoding is available in the File, Pseudo and BERT File operating modes.
It is activated by programming the parameter Frame Encoding to Turbo-code. The frames are generated by
using the parameters Frame Length and Turbo Code Rate of the TMU associated owing to the parameter TM
Flow for BER/Encoding. In the particular case of Turbo decoding, the TMU Frame Length has to be configured
with the uncoded information block length, expressed in bits. The Sync. Marker is automatically deduced from
the TMU Turbo Code Rate.
Table 24: Turbo code : information block and codeblock lengths
In Pseudo mode, the Frame Length of the associated TMU must be configured with the information block length
expressed in bits. The length of (sync. Marker + Turbo codeblock) is given by the formula:
