Bit error rate tester checks telecomms
standards
A new interface interface pod option allows the Aeroflex FB100A bit error rate tester to cover a wide range of standardised telecommunications interfaces.
With the addition of the G.703 interface pod option, the Aeroflex FB100A bit error rate tester can now test a wide range of standardised telecommunications interfaces (from T1 at 1.544Mbit/s to STS-3 and STM-1 at 155.52Mbit/s) This improvement greatly increases the variety of equipment on which bit error rate measurements and noise/error characterisation can be made

Deeper analysis for broadband signals
Aeroflex has added a broad array of new signal measurement capabilities to its Celerity CS35000 Series broadband signal analyser and recorder family (BSA).
The G.703 interface pod enables the FB100A to provide a fully integrated test system for R and D and manufacturing.
Adding the optional G.703 pod and optional noise generation capabilities to the FB100A with its automatic and highly accurate carrier-to-noise-level calibration, gives users a comprehensive test solution ideal for effectively characterising error/noise performance.
Used to test a range of RF/IF modems and other equipment carrying digital data through standardised telecommunications interfaces, the FB100A reduces test system development time and significantly decreases unit test times.
This leads to higher production throughput as well as more accurate and repeatable results.
The FastBit G.703 interface pod has the same form factor as other FB100A pods - the HSSI pod and the Telecom Data Interface pod.
It features a full range of standard instrument tests and results, including automatic bit-error-rate measurements (versus carrier-to-noise) and frequency-tunable noise that ranges from 5MHz to 2.4GHz with selectable noise bandwidths.
The pod uses a transmitter clock internal or receiver with a transmit frequency deviation of +/-2000ppm.
The G.703 pod can operate in comprehensive loop-back mode, T1/E1 balanced and unbalanced mode, or monitor mode.
Unframed operation is available for the following interfaces: T1, E1, T3, E3, E4, STS-1, STS-3, STM-1.
A full range of interfaces is available for PDH, SDH and Sonet systems up to 155Mbit/s.
The Aeroflex FastBit G.703 interface pod is currently available for order with delivery in 4-6 weeks.
