Abstract

This article describes the comparison ofa maximum likelihood convolutional decoder (MCD) prediction model and the actual performance of the MCD at the Madrid Deep Space Station. The MCD prediction model is used to develop a subroutine that has been utilized by the Telemetry Analysis Program (TAP) to compute the MCD bit error rate for a given signal-to-noise ratio. The results indicate that the TAP can predict quite well compared to the experimental measurements. An optimal modulation index also can be found through TAP.
