Word Error Rate Measurement Methodology and Characterization Results Application Note 1609 Word Error Rate Measurement Methodology and Characterization Results The Word Error Rate (WER) specification of Analog to Measuring an extremely low probability event such as Digital Converters (A/D) is of particular interest to certain WER can be difficult. As an example, assume a applications. Typically, these applications are sensitive to 100MSPS, 12-bit A/D with a WER specification of 1E-12. events during which the A/D digital sample produced Requiring a 100 times oversampling of the error deviates significantly from the analog input voltage, even cond……
