A bit error rate tester (BERT)A Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT), also known as Bit Error Ratio Tester is
an electronic test instrument used to test a component or system’s signal transmission fidelity.
Using a sequence of logical ones and zeros generated by a pseudo-random binary sequencer, a BERT compares the received signals against the know binary sequence to detect bit errors.
The main building blocks of a Bit Error Rate Tester are:
• Pattern Generator, which transmits a defined test pattern to the DUT or test system
• Error Detector connected to the DUT or test system, to count the errors generated by the DUT or test system
• Clock signal generator to synchronize the pattern gen-erator and the error detector
