Anritsu Company recently introduced two software packages for its MP2100A
BERTWave series of BERT that create a single-instrument solution that cuts the
cost of testing active optical cables (AOC) and direct attach cables (DAC) in
half. With the software installed, the MP2100A BERTWave provides developers of
communications equipment, servers, computers, electronic components and cables
used in digital transmission systems with an all-in-one solution that supports
jitter decomposition analysis, S21 transmission characteristics, and waveform
simulation.
The Jitter Analysis Software can separately measure each type of
jitter, such as TJ, DJ, RJ, DDJ and DDPWS, while the Transmission Analysis
Software supports analysis of S21 transmission characteristics and waveform
simulation. Installing both software packages in the MP2100A adds high-speed
post-simulation waveform analysis to the standard BER, Eye Pattern, and Eye
Mask measurements of the MP2100A. All of these measurements are made with a
high degree of efficiency, due to the MP2100A’s advanced linear equalizer.
Because of its measurement capability and superior accuracy, the
MP2100A BERT – with the software installed – can conduct highly efficient
evaluations on AOCs and DACs. BERTWave now supports all digital high-speed
communications standards, including Fibre Channel, InfiniBand, USB, SAS/SATA,
and 10/40/100 GbE.
The MP2100A BERTWave series is an all-in-one BERT, Pulse Pattern
Generator, and sampling oscilloscope. Since it performs BER measurements and
eye pattern analysis simultaneously, it greatly shortens measurement times. The
single-instrument solution is ideal for both R&D and manufacturing tests
because it increases efficiency and cuts measurement costs by eliminating
time-consuming setup.
The Jitter Analysis Software and the Transmission Analysis
Software are $9,355 each.
