BitRate=SymbolRate*Modulation*Framing*FEC
Where,
Modulation:
MSK

1bit/sec/Hz

BPSK

2^1=

1bit/sec/Hz

QPSK

2^2=

2bit/sec/Hz

8PSK

2^3=

3bit/sec/Hz

16QAM

2^4=

4bit/sec/Hz

32QAM

2^5=

5bit/sec/Hz

64QAM

2^6=

6bit/sec/Hz

256QAM

2^8=

8bit/sec/Hz

Framing=188/204
Here,
PacketLength=188
FrameSize=204bits=X*Y*ColorDepth
X=ScaningLine(Ho)
Y=ScaningLine(Ve)
FEC=1/2,2/3,3/4,5/6,7/8
Example:
Ifthebandwidthis5MHz,DVB,PAL,FEC=3/4,QPSKModulation.Whatisthesymbolrateandbitrate?
Solution:
SymbolRate=Bandwidth/1.35
=5(MHz)/1.3
=5*1000/1.35
=3703.7
3704
MaximumSymbolRateis3704Hz.Now,weassumethesymbolrate3600andtherestofitfor
sideband.
