{"Image DocumentName": "Comparison Between Three Error Free Constellations", "Image ImageDescription": "All constellations below have a perfect BER with no errors, because the cluster always falls within the decision boundaries. The constellations to the right, however, have significantly better MER with less noise. When the cluster falls within the decision boundaries, BER is not an effective measurement of quality because the BER is perfect Poor MER Perfect BER. Good MER Perfect BER. Best MER Perfect BER.", "Image XResolution": "37", "Image YResolution": "37", "Image ResolutionUnit": "Pixels/Centimeter", "Image Software": "SlidePlayer", "Image YCbCrPositioning": "Centered"}
