Keysight (formerly Agilent T&M) 71612B Error Performance Analyzer

Description

Description

The Keysight 71612B is a reconditioned Error Performance Analyzer that addresses applications for high speed digital testing up to 12 Gb/s, The Keysight HP 71612B provides application measurements including R&D and manufacturing test of lightwave components and sub-assemblies, advanced computer technology and high-capacity communication systems.The analyzer operates from 1 to 12 Gb/s and will operate down to 100 Mb/s with a clock-source extension. Features include high quality waveforms, versatile triggering, and sufficient memory for running multiple SONET and SDH frames at OC-192/STM-64. Use error location analysis to help identify the cause of pattern-dependent errors.Powerful application software to speed measurement time. E4543A Q Factor and Eye Contour application software is designed to simplify the characterization of high speed optical communication links, automatically calculating the Q figure of merit.

Key Features

• Generate exceptional waveforms even with reflective or poor terminations
• Dedicate the analyzer’s whole display for pattern editing
• Simulate long distance testing using burst-mode gating in re-circulating loop tests
• Quickly locate the optimum decision point in the eye waveform with auto-decision thresholds and phase alignment
• Identify individual errored bits in custom patterns using error location analysis (ELA)
• Display any bit in a custom pattern using the flexible pattern trigger
• Automatically predict conventionally unmeasurable low BER using Q-factor measurement and eye-contour analysis
• Generate real-life test patterns to stress your system-under-test
• Create a cost effective 12.5 Gb/s frequency agile jitter measuring system
• Convert electrical-to-optical and optical-to-electrical signals that are SONET/SDH compliant
