Antrica - performance at different data rates

After my testing with the Antrica 32000AS I thought I'd better do some screen caps at different data rates; all the tests I did yesterday were at 2048kBits/sec.

32kBits/sec


256kBits/sec


512kBits/sec


1Mbits/sec


10Mbits/sec

It does seem that you don't get much benefit once you pass 2Mbits/sec - now these are only still frames and sub-500kBits you get quite a few dropped frames (I haven't figured out how to increase the buffer size at the receiver which apparently smooths this out at the expense of latency).

Finally, in an effort to get a feel for the overall degradation of HF content I grabbed a couple of frames at field-rate at each end of the encoder's range;

32kBits/sec

10MBits/sec
