N1027A is a collection of accessories for DCA-X mainframes, modules, and stand-alone DCA-Ms in Keysight's Digital Communication Analyzer (DCA) family. The accessories can be grouped into:

• Kits including multiple parts for specific applications (e.g., N1027A-46A for the N1046A 100+ GHz Electrical Remote Sampling Heads)
• Individual components needed for measurements (e.g., N1027A-PT2/PT3 phase trimmers to adjust skew between electrical channels)
• Items for protection and storage (e.g., N1027A-1MC storage case for mini-modules with remote heads)
   

• x1 connector to match up with the M9045B
• x8 connector to match up with M9502A, M9505A, or M9021A
• 2.0 m length

The Y1200B PCIe cable is used with the M9045B to connect an M9502A/M9505A AXIe chassis or M9018A PXIe Chassis with M9021A cable interface to a laptop computer.

• Validate 200 Gbps-per-lane optical interfaces.
• Enable 400 Gbps-per-lane research.

Optical transceiver manufacturers and optical interconnect solution providers need to validate standards compliance and ensure interoperability at data rates beyond 200 Gbps per lane. Meanwhile, research for data rates at 400 Gbps per lane has already started.

Optical Receiver Stress Test Automation

The turnkey Keysight N4917DJCA optical receiver stress test solution consists of the M8050 Series BERT and the N7718C. Rather than using in-house transmitters with a given signal quality, optical receiver designers can use the solution to simulate a 120 Gbaud optical transmitter to validate their receivers under variable conditions. Those conditions include optical extinction ratio and TDECQ, as well as stress conditions like noise, jitter, and interference.

The N7718C optical reference transmitter, driven by the M8050 Series BERT, generates clean and stressed signals. This approach enables the automated testing of optical receiver designs for compliance with the upcoming IEEE 802.3dj standard.

Paired with the M8199B AWG, the N7718C can generate IM-DD signals, such as NRZ, PAM4, PAM6, and PAM8 waveforms. This capability enables research for transmission at 400 Gbps per lane, paving the way for 3.2 Tbps links.

No RF Amplifier Required

Because the N7718C has a low V_pi, users do not always need an RF amplifier, which would add jitter, to achieve a cleaner optical signal.

Automated Bias Control

The N7718C's automated bias-control mode works without dithering in the quadrature point. Therefore, it will not inject any unwanted spectral components into the optical signal.

The Keysight DAQM910A module data acquisition system is a low-voltage 20-channel multiplexer module. It combines dense, multifunction switching with 80-channel-per-second scan rates to address a broad spectrum of low-voltage data acquisition applications. You can mix two- and four-wire channels on the same module. Additional features include the following:

• two- and four-wire scanning
• maximum 40 Vpk circuit protection and switching
• automatic voltage safety monitoring
• built-in thermocouple reference junction
• SCPI compatible with DAQM901A module (for voltage and temperature measurement applications)

The standard product includes the following:

• 1 DAQM910A multiplexer module
• 1 functional test certificate

Please Note: Firmware version A.03 or above is required on DAQ970A and DAQ973A for compatibility with the DAQM910A.

Applications

• Transportable applications (can also be rack-mounted)

Functionality

• 2 slots for AXIe instrument modules
• Embedded AXIe system module
• High Power, 200W Cooling per slot

Performance characteristics

• Gigabit LAN connection to each module slot
• Gen 2 PCIe x8 interface to system controller provides up to a 4 GB/s data rate from external controller
• Gen 2 PCIe x4 links to each module slot (maximum 2 GB/s data rate)

The M9502A AXIe Chassis is fully compatible with the AXIe 1.0 specification. It includes an embedded system module (ESM) that does not take up an instrument slot. This system module performs the chassis management functions contained in the AXIe specification. Additionally, it provides PCI and LAN interfaces for connection to an external computer, external clock and trigger connectors, and Keysight-exclusive, inter-chassis synchronization connectors. The local bus implemented in the M9502A provides the maximum 62 pairs allowed by the AXIe specification. Combine the M9502A with the M9048A PCIe Desktop Adaptor to achieve the highest system bandwidth.

The M9502A is perfect for transportable applications that require a higher performance of AXIe. It can also be installed in a rack and the instrument modules slots are arranged horizontally to minimize rack space. This arrangement combined with a high-performance cooling system allows the chassis to be racked in only 2U of space. The M9502A is also designed to be easily maintained as both the power supply and fan tray can be removed while the chassis remains in the rack.
