What is the bit error rate?

Question

Data is transmitted continuously at 2.048 Mbps rate for 10 hours and received 512 bit errors.What is the bit error rate?

a)6.9e^-9

b)6.9e^-6

c)69e^-9

d)4e^-9

 

Answer 1

Error rate in Mbps = error bit/time (x) = 512/10*60*60 Mbps

Bandwidth (y) = 2.048 Mbps

Error rate = x/y =  (512*/10*60*60)/2.048 = 6.9*10^(-9)
