Venkat. In the telecom world in order to get from NRZ data ( clock and data ) to a bit error analyzer 3 more circuits are needed in the main path. Here is how it works for 45Mb/s DS3 US or 34Mb/s European Telecom data. The process is very similar at 622MB/s OC-12. 1st start with: NRZ data ( scrambled ) signaling 2nd circuit: B3ZS Decoder circuit to RZ data ( data+ and data- with embedded clock ) 3rd circuit: RZ data to balanced 110 ohm to 75 ohm transformer and unity gain buffer. With a 75 ohm output you can go to BER analyzer with 1 cable. This signal is bipolar with embedded clock and DC balanced. The DS3 signal ready for BER analyzer!! The bit error analyzer has a the reverse signaling process ( with RZ to NRZ Encoder ) to get back to NRZ data for BER analysis. One can also make a simple bit error counter with NRZ data but this has to be implemented into the scrambler circuit. ie: take the scrambler output and with 1 exclusive or gate compare the scrambled data to incoming data to count single bit errors. NRZ and scrambled DATA >> NRZ to RZ Decoder circuit >> Balanced RZ data to 75 ohm ( transformer ) circuit>> BER analyzer. Here is an example of how to design a B3ZS encoder decoder circuit for 45Mb/s to get the basic idea. http://www.metatech.com.hk/appnote/teridian/pdf/wan/APP_B3ZSendec_v2-0.pdf TDK semiconductor make this one.
