Abstract
A system and method for characterizing performance of a terminal radio. The method includes obtaining a plurality of SNR feedbacks by, for each input power level of varying input power levels of the terminal radio, estimating an SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) associated with a respective input power level for a burst sent from the terminal radio to a gateway, where each of the SNR feedbacks may include an estimated SNR and the respective input power level; and determining a RC (radio characterization) of the terminal radio based on where the SNR feedbacks start deteriorating without indicating a saturated response at the gateway, where bursts are transmitted at a selected frequency with a selected SYMCOD (symbol, modulation and error coding scheme).
