Anritsu Launches Solution That Addresses Test Requirements of Next-generation 400 GbE Designs


RICHARDSON, Texas, Aug. 3, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Anritsu Company launches an integrated test solution featuring its Signal Quality Analyzer MP1800A BERT and G0361A 64Gbaud 2-bit D/A Converter (DAC) with MUX that delivers highly accurate measurements of high-speed interconnects and backplanes under development to meet the ever-increasing bandwidth demands of current and emerging networks. The solution generates extremely clean eye diagrams at up to 128 Gbps per channel for 400 G applications so engineers can verify their high-speed devices, modules and network systems are in compliance with industry standards, including 400 GbE and CEI-56G.

The G0361A easily connects with any of the MP1800A 28/32 Gbit/s multi-channel Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) modules. With a dual-channel 2x1 multiplexing function in the input section, the G0361A can generate signals ranging from 32 Gbit/s x 4CH NRZ to 128G PAM4 (64Gbaud), supporting easy and low-cost expansion to 128G PAM4. The MP1800A/G0361A is the industry's first solution to support 128G PAM4 generation and BER tests with accurate jitter injection, and allows engineers to test every bit of a PAM4 signal for more accurate analysis of next-generation 400 GbE interconnects and backplanes.

A number of distinct performance advantages for high-speed testing are provided by the MP1800A/G0361A solution. Best-in-class signal-to-noise ratio and a wide bandwidth allow the solution to produce the cleanest eye diagrams in th industry. Engineers have more confidence that the signal is error-free to ensure their designs, as a result. Serial and parallel measurements can be conducted automatically to save test time and reduce cost-of-test.



In addition to providing performance benefits, the MP1800A/G0361 solution has other advantages. It eliminates the complex setup and configuration issues associated with legacy systems, while also minimizes capital equipment expenditures for lower cost-of-test.

The Signal Quality Analyzer MP1800A BERT features a flexible platform that incorporates a built-in PPG for generation of the highest-quality, highest-amplitude signals in the industry, as well as an Error Detector (ED) module with the highest input sensitivity available. Each MP1800A PPG or ED module can be 1-, 2-, or 4-channels to support multichannel synchronization for up to 8 channels at 32 Gbit/s. With the built-in ED, PAM4 power measurements can also be performed with the solution.
