Agilent (HP) 8720ES

National Test Equipment — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:00:00 +0000

S-parameter Network Analyzer, 50 MHz to 20 GHz

Price: $48,500.00

The 8720ES features solid-state switching S-Parameter test sets with full two-port error correction. The ES models contain a 55-dB step attenuator as a standard feature for wide output power range. Enhanced response calibration provides improved accuracy for transmission measurements by correcting for source match without the speed penalty of a full two-port calibration.

Adapter-removal calibration provides greater accuracy for measurements of non-insertable devices, such as devices with the same sex connectors on both ports or different connector types on port 1 and 2. The 8720 analyzers have a fast source that is fully synthesized, in either swept or stepped modes, with stability and accuracy within 10 ppm (typical). The 8720ES combines a fast, synthesized source with an integrated test set covering frequencies from 50MHz to 20GHz.

Key Specifications:

50 MHz to 20GHz frequency coverage.
Choice of transmission/reflection or S-Parameter test sets.
Fast measurement speed and data-transfer rates.
Display up to four parameters at the same time.
Up to 105dB dynamic range.
Optional time domain, frequency offset, and high power measurements.

The world-class phase noise performance is ideal for local oscillator, low jitter clock substitution and adjacent channel selectivity tests. When testing advanced RF & microwave radar, communications, and control systems, the PSG analog signal generator delivers the performance you demand.

Features:

Broad frequency ranges - 250 kHz to 20, 31.8, 40, 50 or 67 GHz (operational to 70 GHz) with .001 Hz resolution

BERTScope S 12.5 Gb/s Stressed Pattern Generator and Error Analyzer

Price: $99,500.00

The flagship BERTScope has everything you will need to perform receiver compliance testing, transmitter compliance testing, and advanced analysis. Featuring easy and flexible stress testing, physical layer analysis such as BER Contour and Jitter measurements, and a Compliance Contour view for Mask Test, it represents a breakthrough in insight and saved development time. Compliance Contour is a bridge between BER and mask testing, needed because of the requirements of standards such as OIF CEI and XFP/XFI. These new standards require compliance to masks at BER levels of 10-12, a feat beyond the capabilities of a sampling oscilloscope.

BERTScope bridges the gap between eye diagram analysis with BER pattern generation. Finally, bit error ratio detection can be performed quickly, accurately, and thoroughly. BERTScope samples data and enables you to easily isolate problematic bit and pattern sequences. Seven types of advanced error analysis are built into one robust solution for unprecedented statistical measurement depth.

For serial data applications, the new model BERTScopes provide great flexibility in clocking. This includes many new clock divide ratios, in addition to the ability to add stress to an external clock — even one with spread spectrum clocking imposed on it. Jitter tolerance testing is now a snap with onboard template testing. It all adds up to an even smarter way of getting your job done the fastest way possible.

Features

Comprehensive range of differential divided clock outputs for supplying test devices with an instrument grade clock
External clock input upgraded to allow imposition of stress
Analysis (using clock recovery if desired) of signals with SSC
Analysis of physical layer parameters such as eye diagrams and jitter while input signal has SCC on it
BER measurements down to 100 Mb/s, operable with the internal clock or an external clock
Variable depth eye and mask measurements, to allow correlation with shallow sampling scope measurements or a deeper, more revealing view of device performance
Optical measurement units for eye diagrams with an external optical reference receiver
Active measurement and graphing of BERTScope clock recovery loop bandwidth and peaking
Jitter tolerance compliance template testing with margin testing
The 12500B Analyzer offers greater than 20 GHz bandwidth for superior jitter, Q-factor, and eye measurement accuracy and fidelity

Synthesys Research CRJ12500A

National Test Equipment — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 00:00:00 +0000

Variable Clock Recovery Jitter Analyzer

Price: $22,250.00

The BERTScope™ CRJ Variable Clock Recovery Jitter Analyzer is based on our BERTScope CR, the highest performance instrumentation-grade adjustable clock recovery product available today. The CRJ retains all of the functionality of the current BERTScope CR, with additional Jitter Analysis capabilities:

Jitter Spectrum Measurements

The jitter spectrum display lets you quickly validate device compliance to serial data standards, such as PCIe 2.0, which specify a total jitter value over a band-limited range of frequency. These measurements are also very useful in isolating the source of excessive jitter in a system.

Jitter Spectrum is a unique tool, in the respect that it is extracted from the signal in the clock recovery circuit. While some sampling oscilloscopes can perform jitter spectrum measurements on repetitive signals, they can not measure jitter at frequencies below the band-pass frequency of the clock recovery loop, as these components are tracked and removed during the sampling process.

Duty Cycle Dependent Measurements

The BERTScope CRJ also directly measures Duty Cycle Dependent Jitter (DCD). The result appears in the BERTScope CRJ Display with a table of values and a graphical Level Histogram.

DCD Jitter is a required measurement in some serial data standard compliance tests. It is a useful tool in system design, for identifying jitter sources.

CR control on BERTScope analyzerThe BERTScope CRJ can combine with a BERTScope Signal Integrity Analyzer to directly measure jitter components from the serial input data while simultaneously generating a recovered clock. A Jitter Spectrum View in the analyzer's user interface measures spectral analysis of jitter components, along with a direct measure of duty cycle dependent jitter. Results are displayed as a plot of jitter magnitude vs. frequency. The Y-axis of the graph is scaled in %UI or time (ps). The X-axis measures frequency, with a range of 200 Hz to 90 MHz and 100 Hz resolution.

In addition, the BERTScope CRJ operates stand-alone, providing the same unmatched performance with sampling oscilloscopes and other bit error rate test instruments.

Features:

Full BERTScope CR functionality, including compliant clock recovery from 150 Mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s, or to 14.3 Gb/s with Option 143; adjustable, self-measuring loop BW and peaking
Powerful jitter measurement capability to 12.5 Gb/s

Direct spectral analysis of jitter components
Spectrum analyzer' display with cursor measurements of jitter and frequency
User-settable frequency gated measurements for band-limited integrated jitter
- Preset band limits for PCIe 2.0 jitter spectrum

Direct measure of Duty Cycle Dependent (DCD) jitter
Passive 'Pass through' signal path — neither timing nor amplitude on input signal are regenerate
Stand-alone software available for control through a PC.
Combine with a BERTScope Signal Integrity Analyzer to use the new Jitter Spectrum View included in the analyzer's user interface.
