High Performance Serial BERT (J-BERT) 150 mb/s to 12.5 Gb/s

Unit with options:

C13 = 150 Mb/s - 12.5 Gb/s

J10 = Jitter Injection (RJ, sRJ, PJ1, PJ2, SJ, BUJ)

J12 = Jitter Tolerance Compliance Suite (Automated Compliance)

J20 = Interference Channel

The Agilent (now Keysight) N4903B is a J-BERT high-performance serial BERT and provides the most complete jitter tolerance test for embedded and forward clocked devices. It is the ideal choice for R&D and validation teams characterizing and stressing chips and transceiver modules that have serial I/O ports up to 7 Gb/s, 12.5Gb/s or 14.2 Gb/s. It can characterize a receiver’s jitter tolerance and is designed to prove compliance to today’s most popular serial bus standards, such as: PCI Express, SATA/SAS, DisplayPort, USB SuperSpeed, Fibre Channel, QPI, Memory buses, such as fully buffered DIMM2, Backplanes, such as CEI, 10 GbE/ XAUI, XFP/XFI, SFP+.

Data rates 150 Mb/s to 7 Gb/s or to 12.5 Gb/s pattern generator and error detector

Option to extended data rate to 14.2 Gb/s for pattern generator

>0.5 UI calibrated, compliant and integrated jitter injection:

RJ, RJ-LF, RJ-HF, PJ1, PJ2, SJ, BUJ, ISI, sinusoidal interference, triangular and arbitrary SSC and residual SSC

Excellent signal performance and sensitivity

Built-in clock data recovery with tunable and compliant loop bandwidth

Half-rate clocking with variable duty cycle for forwarded clocked devices

Measures BER, BERT Scan, TJ with RJ/DJ separation, eye diagram, eye mask, BER contour, automated jitter tolerance, pattern capture, frame error rate (FER), or symbol error rate (SER) coded and retimed data streams

Two adjustable data outputs with independent PRBS and pattern with 120 block pattern sequencer

All options are retrofittable and upgrade from N4903A possible
