Pathfinding for next-gen data standards
Leading-edge developers use high-performance bit error ratio testers to perform BER and receiver testing for a variety of next-generation technologies, including 800G/1.6T Ethernet, USB4v2, PCIe 6.0, and more.
The Custom Power Behind Our Instruments
Pushing the boundaries of technology requires instantaneous bandwidth, spurious-free dynamic range, and signal fidelity beyond basic measurements. Keysight powers every performance product with custom MMICs, designed in-house, manufactured in our proprietary indium phosphide (InP) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) fab with custom ASIC signal processing that ensure the industry’s fastest, most reliable measurements. Count on Keysight to accelerate your next innovation. In our high-performance BERTs and AWGs, Keysight semiconductors enable speed, bandwidth, and flexibility for terabit transmission systems, resulting in excellent eye diagrams.
SD7150A 1.6T Receiver and Transmitter Test Solution
This new solution bundle for characterizing 1.6T receivers and transmitter includes the M8050A pattern generator up to 120 GBd PAM4 and a 80 GHz UXR. For analyzing errors above 58 Gbd, the Infiniium UXR realtime oscilloscope can be controlled by the M8000 system software. The UXR can be used for measuring the transmitter output performance as well as acquisition hardware for error analysis when controlled by M8070B.
- BER measurements up to 120GBd with long PRBS31Q, QPRBS13, etc.
- Digital equalization and flexible clock recovery settings
- Supports NRZ, PAM4, PAM6, PAM8
- Superior input sensitivity and low noise
