What is Bit Error?

By Dinesh Thakur

Bit Error: An error in a single BIT within a BYTE or WORD of data transmitted over a noisy channel: for example if the byte sent was 11111111 then a received value of 11111101 would represent a bit error in the second bit. There are well-known ERROR DETECTION AND CORRECTION algorithms that can correct one or more such bit errors, given some extra, redundant information, and these techniques are widely applied in the mechanisms of HARDDISK and CD-ROM drives, as well as in telecommunication systems.
