← ScienceWhich consequence results when signal integrity deteriorates in high-speed serial communication?
A)Increased bit error rate✓
B)Reduced supply voltage demands
C)Higher clock signal frequency
D)Enhanced electromagnetic interference shielding
💡 Explanation
An increased bit error rate occurs because impedance mismatches induce signal reflections causing inter-symbol interference through the mechanism of wave superposition. Therefore, data is misinterpreted, rather than voltage reduction or frequency adjustments, because excessive reflections distort the propagating signal which results in compromised data flow.
