Bit Error Rate (BER)

Bit error rate (BER) is the ratio of erroneous bits to total bits transmitted, received, or processed over some stipulated period. Transmission BER expresses the number of erroneous bits received divided by the total number of bits transmitted. Information BER expresses the number of erroneous decoded (corrected) bits divided by the total number of decoded (corrected) bits.
