  • Fiber Optic Communication Bit Error Rate Calculation

    Fiber Optic Communication Bit Error Rate Calculation

    Bit Error Rate (BER) is a measure of the number of bits that are received in error per unit time. The developed scheme has been tested on optical fiber systems operating with a non-return-t -zero (NRZ) format at transmission rates of up to 10Gbps. The parameters which were taken into consideration of the simulation of the network, type of coding, optical fiber length. Bit Error Rate Testing (BERT) is a test methodology where a known sequence of bits is sent through a communications channel and the received bits are compared against the transmitted bits to determine what percentage of data is being communicated correctly. Lower BER values indicate higher transmission reliability and efficiency.
