FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...

We've spent a few months describing physical layer issues and characteristics. This month we'll tackle the characteristic metric that matters the most, error rate ...

Before we move into the discussion on MCMR FEC, let’s look at high speed SerDes and how it is being adopted. The need for higher and higher bandwidth is growing, which is pushing the SerDes speed to ...

Error vector magnitude (EVM) is a popular system-level performance metric that is defined in many communication standards, such as wireless local area networks (WLAN ...
