What symbol rates does the Keysight M8040A BERT support?
The M8040A high-performance BERT supports symbol rates from 2 to 32 Gbaud and up to 64 Gbaud, which corresponds to data rates up to 128 Gbit/s with PAM4 signaling. The system allows selection between NRZ and PAM4 modulation formats directly from the user interface without requiring any recabling of the test setup.
Can the M8040A test both NRZ and PAM4 signals?
Yes, the M8040A supports both pulse amplitude modulation 4-level (PAM4) and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signals. Users can switch between NRZ and PAM4 coding and de-emphasis tap settings from the user interface without needing to reconnect cables, making it ideal for testing devices designed for 400/200 GbE, OIF CEI-56G, CEI-112G, PCIe 32/16/8 GT/s, and Thunderbolt 3 applications.
What is the remote head M8057A used for in the M8040A system?
The remote head M8057A is required for each pattern generator channel and contains an adjustable gain amplifier without re-timer. The cable between the remote head and the module is 0.85 m long, allowing the remote head to be positioned closely to the test board for the device under test, minimizing signal degradations caused by lossy channels and ensuring clean output signals.
What jitter sources are integrated into the M8040A?
The M8040A provides integrated and calibrated jitter injection capabilities including random jitter (RJ), periodic jitter (PJ1, PJ2), sinusoidal jitter (SJ), bounded uncorrelated jitter (BUJ), and clk/2 jitter. These jitter sources can be used simultaneously for comprehensive input tolerance testing of high-speed digital receivers.
How does the M8040A perform true PAM4 error detection?
The M8040A analyzer module M8046A provides true PAM4 error detection in real-time by simultaneously analyzing all thresholds (Vlow, Vmid, and Vupper) to ensure correct symbol error measurement. This full sampling error analyzer can detect errors for both NRZ and PAM4 signals without needing to split up the PAM4 signal for multiple error detector channels, measuring error ratios down to 10^-15.
What standards and interfaces can the M8040A be used to test?
The M8040A is designed for testing many emerging interconnect standards including IEEE 802.3bs 400 and 200 Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3bj 100 Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3cd 50/100/200 Gigabit Ethernet, OIF CEI-56G (NRZ and PAM4 versions), PCI Express 32/16/8 GT/s, Thunderbolt 3, 64G/112G Fibre Channel, Infiniband-HDR, and proprietary interfaces operating up to 64 Gbaud. It is ideal for receiver characterization and compliance testing.
Does the M8040A support Forward Error Correction testing?
Yes, the M8040A supports Forward Error Correction (FEC) encoding and error insertion for testing DUTs with FEC decoder functionality. The pattern generator module M8045A with option 0G9 provides FEC encoding according to IEEE802.3cd 50GBASE-R with Reed-Solomon Code RS(544,514), and allows users to inject pre-FEC and post-FEC errors to test the DUT's FEC decoder function.
What is the typical intrinsic random jitter performance of the M8040A?
The M8040A exhibits excellent intrinsic jitter performance with typical random jitter values of 5 mUI rms for symbol rates between 2.025 Gbaud and below 22 Gbaud, 7 mUI rms between 22 Gbaud and below 32.4 Gbaud, 10 mUI rms between 32.4 Gbaud and below 40 Gbaud, 12 mUI rms between 40 Gbaud and below 52 Gbaud, and 10 mUI rms between 52 Gbaud and below 58 Gbaud. The intrinsic total jitter is typically 8 ps at 32.0 Gb/s NRZ with PRBS 15 pattern.
