← TechnologyWhich consequence results when the equalizer's adaptive algorithm fails to converge in a wireless communication receiver?
A)Increased packet error rate✓
B)Reduced carrier frequency offset
C)Improved signal to noise ratio
D)Decreased intermodulation distortion
💡 Explanation
Increased packet error rate occurs because the equalizer's adaptive algorithm, used for channel estimation and signal recovery through adaptive filtering, fails by incorrectly processing and thus not compensating for inter-symbol interference. Therefore, error rate spikes, rather than SNR improving under better circumstances.
