BERTScope addresses 100G optical receiver tests
The BSA286CL is designed for the low intrinsic jitter and precision impairments required for testing a broad set of 100G communications standards including OIF-CEI, CAUI, and InfiniBand Standards.
When 100G silicon characterization engineers test their OIF-CEI-28GVSR systems, a key requirement is the ability to drive their parts into receiver margin failure before running out of precision impairments in their BERT. The BSA286CL features a re-designed jitter impairment system which incorporates state of the art modulation technology to 100G PHY Layer testing. The 28.6 Gb/s BERTScope supports higher levels of Sinusoidal Jitter (SJ) and other jitter impairments while maintaining low sub 300 fs intrinsic jitter floor performance at key 100G data rates.
Another new capability in the BSA286CL is Combined Random, Bounded Uncorrelated and High Frequency Sinusoidal Jitter (RJ, BUJ and SJ) impairments up to 28.6G offering combined levels exceeding 7.5UI over a broad range of required jitter tolerance (JTOL) frequencies. An industry first, this capability is key to meeting OIF-CEI 3.0 JTOL specifications as well as similar needs found in IEEE802.3bj 100G specifications.
The BSA286CL adds to the test & measurement industry’s broadest communications test portfolio of BERT’s. The Tektronix BERTScope & PatternPro families provide a broad range of signal conditioning and BER analysis from 500Mb/s to 40Gb/s across 1-4 channels.
