Abstract :
XBERT, a microprocessor programmable multi-rate bit error rate generator/receiver is described. It is used for testing the performance of digital communication circuits and communication links. The data rate for XBERT can be configured from 1 kb/s to 622 Mb/s. This makes XBERT an extremely versatile device for testing asynchronous (DS0, DS1, DS3) and synchronous SONET/STS-3 (STM-1), STS-12 (STM-4) telecommunication chips
