Test helps improve optical efficiency
Antitsu's stressed eye measurement suite provides optical modules and transmission equipment with an instrument that reduces measurement times and increases efficiency.
Anritsu has released a stressed eye measurement suite for its MP1800A series of signal quality analysers that offers repeatability for measuring the average output power level difference (OMA), extinction ratio and vertical eye closure penalty (VECP) of optical signals The hardware and software solution provides designers and manufacturers of 10GBASE-L/10GBASE-E optical modules and transmission equipment with an instrument that reduces measurement times and increases efficiency

Bluetooth tester runs the lot in 10 seconds
Anritsu has introduced the MT8850A tester to offer manufacturers of Bluetooth modules comprehensive, one-button testing traceable to national standards.
Consisting of a stressed eye measurement control software, a stressed eye transmitter and an optical receiver, the suite supports stressed receiver conformance to ensure products are IEEE802.3-2005 compliant.
The configuration creates excellent reproducibility because it eliminates the need to capture data under various measurement environments using different connection cables at numerous ambient temperatures.
OMA, extinction ratio and VECP measurements can be made with a power penalty of +/-0.3dB, ensuring precise measurements, when the MP1800A's high-accuracy, auto-calibration function is used.
The transmitter supports output of both 1310 and 1550nm wavelengths and the control software supports power penalty tests, jitter tolerance margin measurements and jitter sweeps for jitter tolerance go/no go checks.
The measurement suite is designed to work with an MP1800A analyser configured with a built-in synthesiser, pulse pattern generator and error detector.
In addition, the analyser outputs a high-stability, high-quality, optical signal for use as a reference light source.
Crosstalk of optical modules can be evaluated from both optical and electrical interfaces simultaneously by using the MP1800A multichannel configuration.
The MP1800A signal quality analyser series combines a pulse pattern generator (PPG) and error detector (ED) in a single chassis to provide bit error rate and quality analysis of digital signals from 100Mbit/s up to 12.5Gbit/s.
The modular design of the MP1800A series offers a flexible cost-effective solution for performing measurements at the suitable bit error rate.
