I think we must start to specify "SNR at Bandwidth", otherwise the numbers dont match well. Im no expert in the field... > A non-standard type of OFDM could be designed for this slow DV, with > only 2 amplitude levels, to achieve more robustness. I estimate -2dB > SNR to 1dB SNR is easily possible, and probably much better. The drmdv ofdm is 1 amplitude level, 4 phase levels already. Going to only 2 phase levels could bring down the minimum snr to around +2db (at 600bps). That is at 2.4khz BW of signal, 2.7khz BW of snr measurement.
