Anritsu and Tektronix have teamed up to provide an automated PCI Express 5.0 (PCIe Gen5) test solution combining the former’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT series with the latter’s DPO70000SX 70GHz real-time Oscilloscope and automation software.
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.
Latin America continues to be a prolific market with very real possibilities of expansion for FTTH deployment.

The unique challenges brought by the pandemic and modern technology are driving significant and varied changes worldwide in how cable television network operators use technology.
Broadband networks are undeniably at peak demand, with the current global crisis providing the industry with its own ‘new normal’, with consumer’s altered perception of ‘normal’ bandwidth levels.
Complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) technology has come a long way since its invention in 1963 by Frank Wanlass during his time employed at Fairchild semiconductor.
While there has long been a recognised need for fair and reliable connectivity for all, the current pandemic has accelerated the urgency at which this must take place.
