  • Measuring bit-error-rates of forward error correction code encoded signals
    Patent number: 8913650
    Abstract: A device may include one or more components and a processor. The one or more components may obtain bit-error-rates of a signal and signal-to-noise ratios of the signal. The processor may select a target signal-to-noise ratio for the signal, determine a target noise level based on the target signal-to-noise ratio, set a noise level of the signal to the target noise level, determine a signal-to-noise ratio of the signal via the one or more components, adjust the noise level of the signal based on the determined signal-to-noise ratio, to stabilize the signal-to-noise ratio, determine a bit-error-rate of the signal via the one or more components, and record the bit-error-rate.

  • Apparatus for optical fiber testing
    Patent number: 8314926
    Abstract: An apparatus for fiber optic testing is presented. In one exemplary embodiment, the apparatus may comprise a plurality of fiber optic connectors for coupling to one or more fiber optic cables, one or more photodetectors operatively connected to the plurality of fiber optic connectors, an optical power measurement module operatively connected to the one or more photodetectors, a display for displaying information received from the optical power measurement module, and one or more user controls for accepting user input.
