[edit]I feel like this article could really use an "Application" section or something which explains the point of them and what they are good for. I'm trying to understand what a PRBS does in telecommunication and why/when one would want to use one. ERCaGuy (talk) 20:31, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
When I worked for Mecury Communications we tested the 565MBit fibre links during commissioning with the 140MBit tribs looped at the far end and the near end setup with the receive of trib one connected to the transmit of trib 2, followed by 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. A HP3764 was connected to the transmit of trib 1 and the receive of trib 4 and configured to generate PRBS (or as we called it "Bird Shit"). This was done to check the stability of the link over time, usually a week. Any errors were printed out and investigated. G1CBK 13:07 25-06-2023 (BST)
"Pseudorandom binary sequence" should be written as "Pseudo-random binary sequence", because of hyphen rules! Greetings. (13.01.2010)
"value of an aj element is independent of the values of any of the other elements" Wouldn't "uncorrelated" be more apropriate than "independant" ? Olivier.rieux (talk) 14:36, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
Please change the example in C to something more understandable. Is there a convention in Wikipedia about what to use to represent algorithms - in times gone by something like Pascal (called pseudo-Pascal) was used because it's almost the most readable code, whereas C is one of the worst.

Terrible
[edit]The author appears to be confused about the distinction between "introduction" and "hairy details". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.234.224.230 (talk) 01:22, 17 October 2013 (UTC)
Generator example
[edit]C code, which is included in article can confuse readers. It prints generator's internal states instead of generated bits. — Vort (talk) 15:58, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
