Threshold sensitivity forĥ0% decoding probability is S/N = –16.4 dB, measured in the standard 2500 Hz The occupiedīandwidth (that containing 99% of transmitted power) is 90 Hz. Modulation uses 4-tone frequency-shift keying atĪpproximately 23.4 baud, with tones separated by the baud rate. Transmissions last for 4.48 s,Ĭompared to 12.64 s for FT8. With the same (174,91) low-density parity check code. Needed for RTTY, while using much less bandwidth.īasic parameters: FT4 message formats are the same as those in FT8 and encoded FT4 can work with signals 10 dB weaker than

Sequences are 6 seconds long, so FT4 is 2.5 × faster than FT8 and about the same Like FT8, it uses fixed-length transmissions, structured messages withįormats optimized for minimal QSOs, and strong forward error correction. Introduction: FT4 is an experimental digital mode designed specifically for radioĬontesting. Joe Taylor, K1JT, Steve Franke, K9AN, and Bill Somerville, G4WJS
