Abstract
A system (400) and apparatus (200, 300) for, and method (100) of, interfacing a demodulator and a forward error correction decoder enables a forward error correction decoder to be used in conjunction with an otherwise incompatible demodulator. Data received from the demodulator having a first encoding and formatted as M bits per baud at a first baud rate is encoded into data having a second encoding. The data having the second encoding is output to the forward error correction decoder as N bits per baud at a second baud rate as required by the forward error correction decoder.
