Keysight (formerly Agilent) M8040A-64G-GEN

DESCRIPTION

The Keysight M8040A 64 GBaud pattern generator is a highly integrated BERT for physical layer characterization and compliance testing. The M8040A BERT's true error analysis provides repeatable and precise results, improving the performance margins of your devices. Designed for R&D and test engineers the M8040A characterizes chips, devices, transceiver modules and sub-components, boards and systems with serial I/O ports operating with symbol rates up to 32 GBaud and 64 GBaud in the data center and communications industries.
With support for a wide range of data rates and standards, the Keysight M8040A provides accurate, reliable results that accelerate your insight into the performance margins of high-speed digital devices. With the M8040A, all critical test capabilities for input/receiver (RX) characterization are built-in.
The pattern generator module provides calibrated and integrated jitter sources and de-emphasis to emulate the transmitter (TX) and to compensate for channel loss in the test setup. In addition, the M8040A provides an internal clock synthesizer and a second pattern generator output channel to emulate an aggressor lane.
