Sym Descrm EbNo Mask (E)
The modem symbol rate is a function of the modulation type, code rate, and data rate. If a change
to one of these parameters produces a value outside the allowable symbol rate range, the invalid
symbol rate is not programmed into the modem.
For example: If the data rate is increased at one of the interfaces and the symbol rate exceeds the
limit changing the modulation type or code rate may bring the symbol rate within range.
