Appendix D RF Signal Quality Parameters Description Burst Error Rate Cumulative burst errors (uncorrectable FEC errors + No Unique Word errors) as a percentage of total bursts received. At BSU, a value of 1% in a sector is normal. Higher number may caused by problems such as interference and can degrade performance. Correctable FEC Error Count Number of bursts with errors that are corrected by FEC (Forward Error Correction). This is a normal part of system operation.
