Optical module receiver sensitivity error

Home / Optical module receiver sensitivity error

Receiver sensitivity is defined by how weak an input signal can be to prevent the Bit Error Rate (BER) from exceeding a specific value which is set by the MSA standards. Exceeding the BER value indicates signal degradation, rendering it unsuitable for data communication. Receiver sensitivity stands as a critical parameter impacting an optical transceiver's functionality. It denotes a module's capability to function in challenging environments and aids network operators in determining the system's maximum reach or link margin.

Receiver Sensitivity

Receiver sensitivity refers to the minimum input optical power required by the receiver to achieve a specified bit error rate (BER). A larger receiver sensitivity indicates poorer receiver performance.
