Test platform prepared for demo at ECOC 2015
The ECOC exhibition will provide the stage for Anritsu to demonstrate its recently released 64Gbps test platform for engineers investigating the latest Signal Integrity, Modulations, high speed PAM4 (pulse amplitude modulation) transmission techniques intended for use in 200Gbps and 400Gbps communications links.
The platform, which provides for very high-quality signal generation up to 64.2Gbps, consists of the Anritsu MP1800A Signal Quality Analyser (Bit Error Rate Tester, BERT), combined with the new MP1861A 64G Mux, MP1862A 64G Demux, MZ1854A PAM4 converter.
The platform provides integrated capability to add multiple jitter stresses at any generated signal bit rate, for complete Jitter Tolerance & Signal Integrity simultaneous analysis. In this demonstration, the signal output is analysed by the 65GHz LabMaster oscilloscope from LeCroy.
Anritsu is on stand 212 at the ECOC exhibition in Valencia (September 28-30)
A second demonstration of the 64.2Gbps MP1800A platform will also be on view at the exhibition. This second set-up relies on the MP1800A excellent eye quality, extremely low intrinsic jitter and fast transition times, specified at data rates from 100Mbps to 64,2Gbps.
