BER Bit Error Rate

bit error rate, BER is used to quantify a channel carrying data by counting the
rate of errors in a data string. It is used in telecommunications, networks and
radio systems.

a bit error rate is defined as the rate at which errors occur in a transmission system

If the medium between the transmitter and receiver is good and the signal to noise ratio is high, then
the bit error rate will be very small

However if noise can be detected, then there is chance that the bit error rate will need to be
considered.

Factors affecting bit error rate, BER

It can be seen from using Eb/No, that the bit error rate, BER can be affected by a number of factors..

 Interference
 Increase transmitter power
 Lower order modulation
 Reduce bandwidth

APPLICATIONS :

 Digital audio and video broadcasting in Europe;

 Wireless local area networks (WLAN) - IEEE802.11a, g, n,
ac, ad, etc.;
 Fixed wireless broadband services;
 Mobile wireless broadband communications;
 Multiband OFDM for ultrawideband (UWB)
communications;
 Main modulation scheme in the 4th generation cellular
mobile communications systems (uplink SC-FDMA,
downlink OFDMA);
 A candidate for many future generations (802.11ax, 5th
generation cellular) of wireless communications systems.
 Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL)
 Wireless Networking
 Power-line Technology
