Tektronix has launched an optical compliance testing toolset for the oscilloscope, DSA8300 Digital Signal Analyzer. The toolset can be used to perform optical compliance test on Ethernet with a speed greater than 10, 40 and 100 G.
The toolset provides a greater throughput and excellent native jitter with a solution for clock recovery. Additionally, this toolset provides separation methods for bounded uncorrelated jitter (BUJ) to resolve crosstalk problems.
The DSA8300 Digital Serial Analyzer provides better signal fidelity, bandwidth, interconnect analysis and TDR. The analyzer has six module slots that can house an accurate phase reference module, clock recovery equipment and several optical and electrical acquirement modules for a wide variety of analytical configurations. Hence, with this analyzer, engineers can minimize calibration cost, communicate with a known interface and enhance the space of lab bench.
A multi-lane design, 4 and 10 lanes, of the analyzer satisfies the IEEE Ethernet Optical and Electrical standards at 40 and 100 Gb/s. Due to the design, the analyzer can precisely detect the crosstalk near the lane, the BUJ. Comparatively, conventional jitter separation methods do not deliberate on non-periodic part of BUJ (NPBUJ) and provides imprecise jitter estimation. The novel analyzer overcomes this issue and provides precise results for crosstalk problems.
The General Manager for Performance Oscilloscopes in Tektronix, Mr. Brian Reich stated that engineers required a single analytical equipment to measure optics. The analyzer provides the analytical support according to standards of Fibre Channel and IEEE802.3. The sampling oscilloscope has been considered to be one of the first attempts for BUJ testing which facilitates customers to resolve crosstalk issues.
