In a computer system, the bit error rate is based on the percentage of bits transmitted and received compared to those that resulted in error.

What is bit-error rate?

Bit error rate, BER, is the measurement of the performance of a particular data stream.æ It isæthe average of data that is considered corrupted or wrong due to connection inconsistancies.


What is the error rate of coaxial cable?

The bit error rate is a standard transmission-error rate of a medium such as copper wire, coaxial cable, or fiber-optic cable. Coaxial cables have a low error rate that is generally 1 in 1 billion bps.

Give an example of a signal for each what conditions the baud rate is equal to the bit rate the baud rate is greater than the bit rate and the baud rate is less than the bit rate?

Basically the baud rate can never be greater than the bit rate. Baud rate can only be equal or less than the bit rate. However, there are instances that baud rate maybe greater than the bit rate. In Return-to-zero or Manchester encoding, where there are two signaling elements, the baud rate is twice the bit rate and therefore requires more bandwidth.


Single bit error in data transmission?

A single bit error is when only one bit within a given data string is in error. It affects only one character within a message


What is bit rate of Ethernet when Manchester encoding is used?

bit rate is half the baud rate

Difference between bit rate and bit period?

Bit rate is related to the maximum frequency being sent over a channel; it is roughly twice this maximum frequency. Bit period is the time it takes to send a bit; it is 2/(bit rate).


What type of transmission do burst errors occur?

In burst error, it is not necessary that only consecutive bits are changed. The length of burst error is measured from first changed bit to last changed bit. As shown in fig. length of burst error is 8, although some bits are unchanged in between. Burst error is most likely to occur in a serial transmission. The noise occurring for a longer duration affects multiple bits. The number of bits affected depends on the data rate & duration of noise. For e.g. if data rate is 1 kbps, a noise of 1/100 second can affect 10 bits.
