Abstract
A customized bit error rate tester that characterizes data transmission through a free space optical channel that overcomes the limitations of commercial based bit error rate testers by providing visibility into packet based channel capacity by measuring bit-level statistics not dominated by fades. In this manner, fade characteristics can be measured and a relationship between fade time and data packet lengths can be developed. Further, analog outputs provide visual real-time data link statistics.
