Tester handles severe jitters

摘要

Tektronix has introduced the BSA286CL BERTScope Bit Error Rate Tester for the low intrinsic jitter and precision impairments required for testing a broad set of 100G communications standards including OIF-CEI, CAUI, and InfiniBand Standards. Receiver testing has become increasing important in 100G electrical systems and silicon testing. With the advent of sophisticated silicon receiver equalisation, higher levels of jitter tolerance must be tested and faults corrected. Until now, Tektronix says, available bit error rate testers have been unable to generate the requisite degree of impairments with a low enough jitter noise floor to perform these tasks effectively. The BSA286CL is the industry's first to fully meet these precision impairment and error analysis requirements.
