N1091CKCA Electrical TX Test SW for IEEE802.3ck (100/200/400 Gb/s)

Comprehensive measurement and debug solution

• Characterizes 100/200/400 Gb/s TX designs defined by IEEE802.3ck
• Performs nearly 140 tests
• Key measurement includes 12-edge Output Jitter (Jnu, JRMS, EOJ), SNDR & Eye-opening (EH, EW, VEC)

Flexible and extensible

• Operates on an N1000A DCA-X oscilloscope, or on a PC connected to an N1000A DCA-X via LAN
• Automatic HTML report generation
• Test all or selected parameters to compliance limits or custom limits

Compatible

• N1000A DCA-X mainframe
• N107x Clock Recovery
• N104xA/B Remote head

The Keysight N1091CKCA TX test application can be used with the N1000A DCA-X oscilloscopes to quickly and accurately perform PAM4 measurements according to:

• IEEE 802.3ck 100Gb/s, 200 Gb/s and 400 Gb/s Operation

  • 100GAUI-1, 200GAUI-2 and 400GAUI-4 Chip-to-Chip (C2C) TX characteristics
  • 100GAUI-1, 200GAUI-2 and 400GAUI-4 Chip-to-Module (C2M) host/module output characteristics
  • Transmitter characteristics, 100GBASE-CR1, 200GBASE-CR-2, and 400GBASE-CR4
  • Transmitter characteristics, 100GBASE-KR1, 200GBASE-KR-2, and 400GBASE-KR4 

The N1091CKCA is an easy-to-use TX test application that:

• Saves time in understanding details of standards
• Reduces the time it takes to characterize your PAM4 design from hours to minutes
• Helps debug your device using custom configurations
• Allows you to quickly generate HTML reports that summarize the performance of your device

Key measurements include:

• Jitter Measurements including Jnu, JRMS, and EOJ on “12-edges” of a PRBS13Q
• Output Waveform measurements including Steady-State Voltage (Vf), Linear Fit Pulse Peak and Signal-to-Noise-and-Distortion (SNDR)
• Transition Time
• Eye Width, Eye Height & Vertical Eye Closure
• Effective Return Loss
