BER Measurement
Note
The SBD-75e provides two means of analyzing link error rate performance.
When the Demodulator is operating in PRBS Mode the front panel menu shows the real Bit Error
Rate measured from errors detected on the PRBS sequence. The BER can be reset by via the
front panel.
Note
The displayed Bit Error Rate value is invalid when the Demodulator is receiving real data traffic.
There is also an Estimated BER, which is useful when the Demodulator is operating with real data.
This is displayed on the front panel menu.
