Introduction
1
Additionally, the application supports compliance testing for a subset of
100GBASE and 50GBASE standards as per the specifications. The solution
consists of several test instruments such as a Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT),
an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), Digital Sampling Scope (DCA),
Optical Reference Transmitter, Tunable Laser, and Optical Attenuator
operating together with the N4917BSCB software package.
Salient features of the N4917BSCB 400G Optical Receiver Test Application
include:
• Remote control of all the test instrumentation
• Automated calibration of the optical stressed eye parameters (ER,
SECQ, and OMA) following the procedure recommended by IEEE
• Adjustable target values for ER, SECQ, and OMA
• Automated Stress Receiver Sensitivity test
• Automated jitter tolerance compliance and margin tests
