A NEW STATISTICAL APPROACH TO WORD ERROR RATE MEASUREMENT IN ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS
Abstract
The paper is focused on the Word Error Rate (WER) estimation in Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs) as specified in Annex A of the IEEE Std. 1241. The aim is to give a contribution for the next version of such standard. A new statistical approach for WER estimation, that can better integrate what it is stated in the standard, is proposed. In particular, Student’s t and chi-square distributions have been introduced for a more accurate WER measurement in the case of n successive observations. The proposed method has been experimentally verified by means of WER measurement, where the testing results were compared by standard method.
