Anritsu has released its latest PAM4 error detector, which supports 116Gb/s bit error rate tests.
Anritsu has introduced the G0361A, a 64Gbaud two-bit digital to analogue converter (DAC) with dual-channel 2x1 multiplexers.
When connected to the MP1800A signal quality analyser, it creates what the company claims is the industry’s first test set-up that supports signal generation and bit error rate (BER) tests for high baud rate signals, such as 128G PAM4 (four-level pulse amplitude modulation).
Test and measurement specialist Anritsu has introduced a CPRI-based RF measurement option for its BTS Master handheld base station analyser family that can significantly reduce the operational expense (opex) associated with troubleshooting interference at fibre-based cell sites.
Anritsu has launched new MP1861A mux and MP1862A demux modules for the MP1800A signal quality analyser. This will expand the functions of the MP1800A 32G bit error rate tester (BERT) to support 56G and 64G measurements required for evaluating high-speed serial transmission devices, such as SerDes.
The recent Covid-19 pandemic has changed many areas of our daily life, from going to a place of work, how we spend our holidays, to eating out and socialising with friends and family. For fibre engineers, it has arguably had a much greater impact.
In 2020, video calls have become ubiquitous thanks to Covid-19, revealing many people’s ‘lousy home broadband’, according to Geoff Bennett, director, solutions and technology, at Infinera.
It’s reasonable to say that the biggest disruptive influence this year has been the global pandemic that still currently has a grip on our lives.
