BER versus RSL Dynamic Range
The increase of BER as the result of a faded RSL indicates the sensitivity of the
Receiver. The curve includes the received signal overload characteristics.
The dynamic range of the Receiver is the range from the low RSL to the high
RSL at 10
-6
BER or other BER (10
-3
outage, 10
-13
error-free, and so forth).
