Hi Mohamed,

BER test set calculates the bit error rate on an empirical basis, meaning if 4096 bits are transmitted and two of them are detected incorrectly, it shows BER=4.88e-4. In your design, the constellation diagram is very clear, so it should show zero BER. Therefore I wouldn’t trust the result. (Otherwise, we were recommended on several occasions to use BER test set instead)

Regards
