Abstract

Chapter 5 covered various modulation schemes quantifying the relationship between carrier-to-noise ratio at the input of a demodulator and baseband signal quality. In many satellite communication applications the desired carrier-to-noise ratio is not achievable. For instance, a VSAT terminal may not have adequate RF sensitivity, or the signal received in a mobile terminal may fluctuate. In such applications a technique known as coding is often used. Coding is the technique of protecting message signals from signal impairments, by adding redundancy to the message signal.
