A digital transmission has an error probability of 1 x 10^-5 and is 1 x 10^8 bits long. Its BER is:
A) 1 x 10^-3
B) 1 x 10^-8
C) 1 x 10^-5
D) 1 x 10^-4

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Bit Error Rate (BER) is defined as the number of bit errors divided by the total number of bits transmitted. In this case, the error probability is given as 1 x 10^-5, which directly indicates the BER.
