Is a bit error rate close to 1 just as desirable as one that is close to 0?
Let me explain the premise. If you have a communication system, and you know with a very good confidence margin what the bit error rate is, would you be able to exploit the properties of high bit ...

Why bother with even parity?
I am using an SPI peripheral in my application. The peripheral returns packets containing 15 data bits, plus an Even Parity bit for error detection.
Therefore all zeros, and all ones both pass the ...

Why does NOR flash have 0% bad blocks?
Why does NOR flash memory have 0% bad blocks and ECC is not mandatory?
From my understanding, NOR flash and NAND flash are made of similar flash cells (they are only "externally" wired in ...

Decoding an unknown serial bitstream that does not fit 8-N-1
I am looking at an RS-485 signal using a scope and an analyzer (saleae). This is running a mystery bus (see below for more information). I would like to know how to fix my frame errors. I can't begin ...

Do ASCII or Unicode Bit-Level Anagrams exist? [closed]
Is there such a thing as a bit-level ASCII anagram, that forms a natural language word when the bits are interpreted as ASCII from left to right, but a different natural language word when interpreted ...

Neutron Single Event Upset (NSEU) how its effect is mitigated in electronics in space vehicles?
Since in the outer space the NSEU will be more common than in the earth, how the electronics in space vehicle is tacking the issue. I feel a solution will be existing for some decades but on google I ...

Bitstream autocorrelation? - comparing two bitstreams - BER?
I am sending a PN9 sequence from a sender to a receiver and want to compare the received bitstream (RB) to the sent one (SB). I am assuming that the transmission will get distorted and want to somehow ...

Number of errors that can be detected with a single-bit even parity code word system?
How many errors can a transmission system which uses code words with 7 data bits and a single parity bit (Checking for Even parity) detect at the receiving end.
While I am aware of the fact that any ...

Need some help in bit error rate calculation for QPSK when using Gray coding
Why is Probability of Bit Error = 2 times the Probability of Symbol Error in QPSK with Gray Coding. Is it because one bit error has the potential to cause two symbol errors (2 symbols where they ...

Effect on sampling time on BER
Just for some background context:
A digital signal has jitter present on it. In this situation there is
only random jitter (RJ), which is unbounded and normally distributed.
When the digital signal ...

In Proteus 8 simulation of the PIC16F84A assembly code (.asm), any setting (BSF) or clearing (BCF) of the pins <3:0> clears pin RA4!
After a thorough investigation, it turns out that the Proteus 8 simulation of the PIC16F84A (and possibly other MCU-s in PIC16 family) has a bug when interpreting the assembly language code, which ...

How does DPSK work? What are the advantages compared to BPSK?
I have two questions that I would appreciate some help with.
Comparing BPSK and DPSK I noticed that BPSK has lower BER. Why is this?
Are there other advantages of using one over the other?
In what ...

How does radiation produce transient bit errors in DRAM?
Ionizing radiation can produce transient bit errors in volatile RAM. What is the exact mechanism by which this occurs?
E.g., is there a threshold energy level for a single photon or neutron to ...
