Hi,
I'm currently writing an application for tcp3d. I went over the datasheet of the tcp3d, saw the graph[1] of different FER for a given SNR and code blocks length, and it seems that it doesn't fit with the graphs in the text books.
I know that every graph in every text book is vary according to different turbo endcoder's structure and so on, but in general, the graphs are pretty much the same. And the results in the graphs in the datasheet, doesn't make any sense.
I already fed the tcp3d with a data that was encoded and corrupted by a AWGN, and got the results that I was expecting to get according to the text books, and even according to the graphs in "Application Report" of the tcp2d over here (page 12):

yes, I know that the graphs in the datasheet of the tcp3d and the graph in the "Application Report" are with different axes, and still, the last one make sense (as far as the results i'm getting from the tcp3d and the texts books).
I feel like i'm missing something, and I don't know what it is.
Gil.
