The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N4962A serial BERT 12.5 Gb/s is a small size, high-performance 0.5 to 12.5 Gb/s pseudo-random bit sequence generator and bit error rate tester designed for automated production-line testing, manufacturing and R&D lab use.
This GPIB controllable BERT, with its small size, is ideal for mounting close to the device under test and minimizes cabling. The internal synthesizer offers performance from 9.90 to 11.35 Gb/s. When used in conjunction with an external clock (e.g., N4963A), operation from 0.5 to 12.5 Gb/s is possible. The BERT offers 5 PRBS patterns for stressing different types of data networks. In addition, the jitter injection capabilities allows frequency modulation with DC-100 MHz bandwidth, for inducing a stressed eye for receiver measurements.
