Why bathtub curve measurements matter
13
• Bathtub curve simulations help to
validate robust system design before
PCB build.
BER = 10-3
BER = 10-6

Quiz
• How is BER calculated?
A. BER is calculated by dividing the number of bit errors by the total amount of verified
bits.
B. BER is calculated by dividing the total amount of verified bits by the number of bit
errors.
C. BER is calculated by dividing the total jitter by the total amount of verified bits.
D. BER is calculated by dividing the random jitter by the total jitter.

Quiz
• How is BER calculated?
A. BER is calculated by dividing the number of bit errors by the total amount of verified
bits.
B. BER is calculated by dividing the total amount of verified bits by the number of bit
errors.
C. BER is used in a bathtub curve as a measure of the fidelity in the data stream.
D. BER in a bathtub curve is commonly expressed by the exponent of the calculated
BER.
