• Cost effective DCA for optical transceiver manufacturing
• Flexible Modular PXI platform allows multiple instruments
and configurations
• Significantly smaller than a traditional DCA
• Eye diagram, jitter and mask testing
• High throughput
• Multimode and single-mode fiber input
• Single ended electrical input
• Three standard hardware filter rates GigE, 2xFC, 4xFC
• Digital filter capability
• Multiple measurement capability
• Unique vector sampling technique
The N2100A implements a patented coherent vector under-sampling
which allows fast data acquisition and multiple eye measurements
for higher test throughput.
This PXI instrument uniquely combines the functionality of
several traditional instruments in a single PXI module. Perform
accurate eye diagram analysis to characterize the quality of trans-
mitters from 50 Mb/s to 4.25 Gb/s.
The N2100A is part of a family of Agilent PXI products that are
focused on providing test equipment for optical transceiver manu-
facturers.
Optical transceiver manufacturers can measure all required
test parameters by combining the N2101A 5 Gb/s BERT with the
N2100A Digital Communication Analyzer.
