Bit Error Rate Formula
The following formula can be used to calculate a bit error rate.
BER = EB / NB
- Where BER is the bit error rate
- EB is the number of bits received in error
- NB is the number of bits received in total
To calculate bit error rate, divide the number of bits in error by the total bits received.
Bit Error Rate Definition
A bit error rate is a measure of the quality of the digital transmission of a system. It’s defined as the ratio of bits received in error divided by the total number of bits received.
Bit Error Rate Example
