bit-error tester

The Agilent N5980A is a manufacturing serial BERT designed for high-throughput, low-cost transceiver manufacturing test.Key Features & Specifications:Data Rates: Standard measurements at fixed rates between 125 Mb/s and 3.125 Gb/sPattern Generation: Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) polynomials and K28.5 ("Comma") pattern generationClock & Data Recovery: Integrated clock-data-recovery (CDR) functionInterfaces: Independent electrical and optical (SFP plug-ins) interfaces; differential electrical inputs/outputs via 3.5 mm SMA coax connectorsControl & GUI: Simplified one-page graphical user interface running on an external Windows PC via USB 2.0 interfaceError Injection: Optical and electrical error injection (single error or at selectable Bit-Error-Ratio)Error Analysis: Gated Bit-Error-Ratio analysis with absolute error count display and selectable gate timeCost Efficiency: Priced at one-third the cost of the existing N4906B BERT; six times smaller in size, reducing test cost by a factor of sixProgrammability: Full programmability of all GUI features for automated manufacturing testDimensions: 228 mm (W) × 59 mm (H) × 246 mm (D) (bench top dimensions)
