Beyond Bit Error Ratio - Gain New Insight from Studying Error Distributions

Bit Error Ratio (BER) measurements are a standard figure of merit in high-speed digital systems. However, as a tool for troubleshooting in development, BER results have required significant interpretation from experienced engineers to pinpoint design issues. This paper will focus on a new field of bit error analysis that helps to provide insight more quickly, and in more detail, than has been generally available before. Conventional BER testers count the number of errors that occur. However, by also analyzing the precise timings and groupings of these errors, a superior picture can be obtained. The advantages that this brings to the enterprise network arena are discussed.
