Abstract

It is well established that ground communications bit errors occur in groups, or bursts. A recent study shows that 1200-bit high-speed data blocks. that contain errors also tend to occur in groups. A study of these block bursts indicates that single block errors are most common, but that about 10% of the block bursts are composed of seven or more blocks. A significant number of good blocks are contained within these bursts. The single block errors are apparently the result of random happenings, however the longer bursts represent deteriorating circuit conditions.
