N2101A
PXI Bit Error Ratio Tester 1 Gb/s to 5 Gb/s
Optical/Transmission
The N2101A PXI 5 Gb/s BERT consists of a clock source, data
pattern generator and error detector within a 2U wide PXI module.
Easily perform bit error ratio analysis to characterize the
quality of devices from 1.0625 to 5 Gb/s.
The N2101A is part of a family of Agilent PXI products that are
focused on providing cost effective test equipment for optical trans-
ceiver manufacturers.
Optical transceiver manufacturers can measure all required
test parameters by combining the N2101A 5 Gb/s BERT with the
N2100A Digital Communications Analyzer.
