Hi, I believe the number you are looking for is the sensitivity per modulation rate minus the base noise floor for a given bandwidth (see Matt's earlier post). This gives you the required signal over the noise floor. If the noise floor goes up, the effective sensitivity goes up accordingly. What

are on a 50MHz Channel BW with a signal of -58 you need a noise floor of -97 to maintain 1024QAM. So, if the noise floor is -75 we are 22db off so you can add that to -58 and figure -80, or QPSK. Is this the correct math? On Mon, Jan 12, 2015 at 8:44 PM, Chuck Macenski ch...@macenski.com wrote: Hi
