ABCs of Bit Error Rate Testers
The terms “bit error rate” and “bit error ratio” are used interchangeably on many websites and publications. However, the definitions are very different. Understanding the difference will help you effectively analyze your system’s performance.
What is a BERT?
To find the bit error rate or bit error ratio of your system, you need a Bit Error Rate Tester or Bit Error Ratio Tester (BERT). BERT refers to a class of test equipment. Depending upon the manufacturer or distributor, BERT stands for Bit Error Rate Tester or Bit Error Ratio Tester. A BERT tests the complete transmitter/receiver system for any data loss. It transmits data into a system and then measures how well a system transmits and receives the data. To do this, a BERT requires a pattern generator and error detector.
