Hi Rud, I just sent you the Pascal source code for generating and receiving OFDM via wav files. There is also a simple program that will modify a file to simulate multipath by converting it into multiple rays. I agree with Vojtech that it's not very useful to flip bits for testing as any

I understand about the use of soft decoders. If the protocol uses a soft decoder and another hard decoder the latter works at the bit level. A standard example is using Reed-Solomon for the hard decoder. Would the bit flipping be representative of the atmospheric effects for the outer hard

Subject: Re: [digitalradio] Testing Digital Codes at Bit Level If you have an inner and outer code that would be the situation, but I'm not sure that flipping one bit would always be accurate. A Viterbi decoder might generate small bursts of errors. HDTV uses TCM with an outer Reed
