"With the increased popularity of high-speed transmission systems, and particularly the use of ten gigabit speeds in both wide-area and local-area networks, the demand for high-speed measurement equipment is increasing", comments Jorg Latzel, Product Marketing Manager for Photonic Products with Yokogawa Europe.
"Users want compact, economical and easy-to-use test equipment - something that has not been available until now".
These new instruments provide comprehensive testing capabilities for 10Gbit/s networks as well as Ethernet and 10Gbit/s components such as transmitter and receiver optical subassemblies, XFP transceivers and PIN diodes.
Both the AQ2200-601 and the AQ9945 offer pulse pattern generation from 9.95 to 11.32Gbit/s, as well as variable amplitude, offset and crosspoint settings.
Internal clock data recovery makes it very easy to run tests without providing a separate clock signal.
The AP9945 is designed to be controlled by an external PC.
All functions and features can be set through the software delivered with the instrument.
PRBS (pseudorandom binary sequence) patterns can be selected between PRBS 7 and PRBS 31.
The AQ2200-601 offers a 64Mbit program pattern option which allows users to create their own custom patterns including SDH or Sonet patterns.
These patterns, defined using the PC-based software, can be stored on a Flash card and transferred to the pulse pattern generator.
With the AQ2200-601 costing between Eur 52,000 and 55,000 and the AP9945 Eur 37,000 to 45,000, these new instruments represent excellent value in terms of price/performance ratio.
