BER measurements and eye pattern analysis options

19 January 2011 Test & Measurement

Anritsu announced the rollout of its MP2100A/01A-090 bit rate expansion and MP2100A/02A-061 to -086 low pass filter options to upgrade the functions of the company’s BERTWave MP2100A series. The MP2100A is designed for evaluating various active optical devices from 125 Mbps to 12,5 Gbps.

The BERTWave MP2100A targets next-generation communications networks supporting LTE services at FTTH-class speeds, based on its all-in-one support for simultaneous BER measurement and eye pattern analysis required for evaluating the performance of active optical devices. Installing the newly developed MP2100A/01A-090 in the MP2100A series expands the previous upper limit from 11,32 Gbps to 12,5 Gbps and supports a BER bit rate measurement range from 125 Mbps to 12,5 Gbps. Additionally, the MP2100A/02A-061 to -086 options add six new, built-in Bessel filters to complete the line-up of filters needed for eye pattern analyses.

These new developments increase the usefulness of the instruments by adding support for next-generation 10 Gbit band devices while also offering all-in-one performance evaluation of low-bit-rate active optical devices used by communications systems.
