BER measurement that optimizes performance for the real world
As wireless systems operate in increasingly noisy and complex environments, bit error rate (BER) testing ensures robust signal integrity, reliability, and the highest level of performance.
Maury noise generators enable accurate BER measurements by simulating real-world interference conditions all within a controlled lab environment. With highly controllable additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) generation, you can stress-test receivers and validate system behavior against theoretical limits.
Maury solutions support:
- Customizable noise generation for robust BER analysis.
- Validation of receiver performance under realistic operating conditions.
- Optimized signal integrity through identifying system vulnerabilities.
Critical to uncovering how well systems receive and decode data, designers rely on Maury noise generators to ensure performance standards are met even in the noisiest environments.

Stress your receiver with complex interference, quantify integrity with BER analysis
Modern wireless devices are expected to perform across wider bandwidths with greater dynamic range, but these demands push receiver performance to the limits. Wider bandwidth increases the amount of noise in the channel, while greater dynamic range means weak signals must be extracted cleanly.
Noise generators model real-world signal impairments via AWGN generation, providing critical insight about BER. With BER measurements, engineers can determine how many bits were received incorrectly.
Known as a waterfall diagram, a standard test methodology involves plotting the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) vs. BER. As the SNR increases, where the signal becomes more distinguishable from the noise, the system is better able to correctly decode data, thus dropping the BER.
With Maury noise generators, you can compare the theoretical dynamic range for a given modulation scheme to real-world measured values, ensuring your device reaches the highest reliability standards.
