The Defence Communications System is to have a test system capable of estimating the bit error rate of a receiver without disrupting the traffic flow or introducing special streams of test data. This system should, in addition, provide an estimate of the error rate in reasonably short periods of time, even when the actual error rate is very low. In this study several performance monitoring schemes are investigated. They include, Gooding's pseudo-error scheme, format violation detectors, and visual indicators.
