Which impairment results when signal processing inadequately equalizes channel dispersion in fiber optic communication?

💡 Explanation

Inadequate channel equalization causes increased inter-symbol interference because pulse spreading overlaps adjacent symbols, making signal discrimination at the receiver difficult; therefore bit errors increase, rather than reducing interference because the chromatic dispersion isn't flattened in the fibers.
