Optimized for the 400G speed class, the M8292A optical modulation analyzer provides a compact, faceless and rack-mountable test instrument that connects to the optical output of coherent transmitters. It leverages the full feature set of Keysight's vector signal analyzer and optical modulation analyzer software ensuring a known-good customer experience for analyzing complex modulated data signals.

Automated Test Solution for Coherent Optical Transmit and Receive Devices

Coherent optical devices such as dual-polarization IQ modulators and intradyne coherent receivers need to be tested in their different development stages as well as qualified by the system integrators. The optionally available coherent optical device test software provides a turn-key solution for the characterization of these devices, integrating an M8292A optical modulation analyzer module, an M8296A 4-channel high-speed digitizer module and an M8196A high-speed arbitrary waveform generator module.
