The receiver doesn't 'loose' symbols; it will clock through the correct
amount of data, assuming it is tracking the signal bauding rate. The
symbols will be in error, though. So, your length should be constant
for good packets as well as bad. If the baud tracking loop is having
trouble, you wil
Generating good white noise in real time with this bandwidth is a problem; it
takes a lot of processing, particularly to get a good distribution with
gaussian tails many sigma out. If you're going to redesign the guts of the
FPGA, I'd suggest feeding an external white noise generator into one o
