As pointed out in the comments section of my previous blog post, Tx BER testing can only go so far in predicting the BER of a system. For rigorous Rx testing, a PG ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

Each ECC bit represents the parity of a different subset of the data bits, and each data bit is normally included in more than one ECC bit. This lets us detect a 1-bit error, identify the offending ...

As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

As with any electronic system, errors in the memory subsystem are possible due to design failures/defects or electrical noise in any one of the components. These errors are classified as either ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. The bit error ratio (BER) is defined as the probability that a bit is received in ...

Bit Error Rate Simulation Using 16 QAM Technique in Matlab In this paper, the authors introduce the Bit Error Rate (BER) simulation using 16 QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) in Matlab. Bit error ...

The Google servers use ECC DRAM that typically corrects single bit errors and reports double bit errors. It is a rare notebook or consumer desktop that supports ECC. You could be having DRAM problems ...

The digits zero and one are the natural language of computers. Almost anything can be represented inside a computer's memory simply by arranging zeros and ones into the proper sequence. However, ...
