Get ready to characterize 40/100 Gbit/s optical transmitters operating with advanced modulation schemes using time-domain polarization-diverse coherent detection
Get deep insight into modern 40/100 Gbit/s optical transmitter with new tools like constellation diagram and error vector analysis
The N4391A optical modulation analyzer opens tools well known in the RF world to the optic world. It is based on an time domain coherent detection architecture with a 90000 Infiniium oscilloscope as data acquisition unit and the 89600 vector signal analysis software. In addition polarization multiplexed signals are supported with additional signal preprocessing.
