Option 1: Bandwidth To Multiplex Information Rate Calculation

This document contains bandwidth calculators for QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM modulation schemes used in satellite and cable transmission. It provides tables to calculate the bandwidth required to support a given data or information transmission rate under different modulation and error correction schemes. It also allows calculating the transmission rate supported by a given bandwidth allocation. Required signal to noise ratios for different modulation schemes are provided.
