Highlights

The Keysight N4917DJCA solution consists of the software application, an M8050A 120 Gbaud high-performance bit error ratio tester, an interference source, an optical reference transmitter, an optical sampling oscilloscope, a tunable laser source, and an optical attenuator. Automated calibration ensures a high level of accuracy and repeatability and speeds up calibration and test time significantly compared to manual operation.

Capabilities

  • Meets IEEE 802.3 standard for stressed optical receiver characterization for 800G and 1.6T modules with 100G and 200G / λ optical interfaces.
  • Follows the test procedures described in IEEE 802.3 clauses 124, 167, 140, 151,180, 181, 182, and 183 (IEEE 802.3cn / cu / db / df and dj projects).
  • Provides a turnkey solution that automates all required instruments.
  • Ensures repeatable and stable calibration of optical stressed PAM4 signals.
  • Enables adjustable target values for outer extinction ratio, transmission and dispersion eye closure, and optical modulation amplitude.

Functionalities

  • Provides unified instrument control and settings with the N4917DJCA software.
  • Automates stress signal calibration, receiver sensitivity, and jitter tolerance measurements.
  • Enables customized device testing and reporting via device-under-test control and scripting interface.
  • Includes adjustable stress mix for user-defined calibration.
  • Offers flexible calibration based on customer-defined parameter settings.
