Applying a high-crest-factor disturbance to a serial data stream lets you verify if a receiver can meet a 10-12 BER requirement. When you think of crest factor, you probably think of AC mains voltage, ...

Crest factor can describe power signals, machine vibration, or half-wave lamp dimmers, to name a few. In these applications, you must know not only the average power, voltage, or current, but also the ...
