Keysight (formerly Agilent) N4951A-P32

DESCRIPTION

The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N4951A-P32 Pattern Generator Remote Head is available in 5 to 32 Gb/s configuration. This compact device offers compatibility with the N4960A Serial BERT controller and can be used to test up to 32 Gb/s per channel for 100 Gigabit Ethernet devices and other applications involving high-data rate devices. This N4951A-P32 Pattern Generator Remote Head also offers PRBS and user pattern support.
Key Specifications and Features of the Keysight (formerly Agilent) N4951A-P32:
Frequency:

• 1 to 16 GHz with no remote heads connected
• 2 to 8.5 GHz when one or two 17 Gb/s remote heads are connected
• 2.5 to 16 GHz when one or two 32 Gb/s remote heads are connected

Frequency resolution:

• 1 kHz (front panel)

Outputs:

• Jitter (stressed), Delay, and Divided (non-stressed)

Output configuration (all outputs):

• Differential, with amplitude, offset and termination voltage adjustment (can be used single-ended without terminating unused outputs)

Amplitude range:

• 300 mV to 1.7 V (p-p), single-ended

Offset range:

• ?2.4 to 2.4 V (limited by termination voltage, see Figure 24) on divided clock output, this is only valid when the divide ratio is a power of 2

Termination voltage range:

• ?2.4 to 2.4 V (limited by offset voltage, see Figure 24)

Rise time:

• (20% to 80%) < 23 ps typical

Intrinsic jitter:

• < 700 fs rms typical from 2 to 16 GHz

Duty cycle Jitter and delay outputs:

• 50% ?5%

Divided output:

• 50% ?5% at divide ratios which are a power of Dut

Specifications

• Data rate range: 5 to 32.0 Gb/s
• Data rate resolution: 2 kb/s
• Output amplitude: 100 mV (p-p) to 1.0 V (p-p), single ended
