Other QPSK turbo code rates have similar performance and the QPSK plots above are used to
estimate their performance. The degradation plots above are also used for other turbo 8-PSK and
16-QAM code rates. A good practice for carrier spacing is to operate the links with sufficient
spacing so there is no degradation.
