Keysight Technologies N1092A Spec Sheet
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What optical data rates does the N1092A support?
The N1092A includes standard optical reference receivers for 25.78 Gb/s (25/50/100 Gb Ethernet), 26.56 Gb/s (400 Gb Ethernet), 27.95 Gb/s (OTU4), and 28.05 Gb/s (32x fibre channel). Optional receivers for 20.6 Gb/s and a 100GBASE-SR4 TDEC filter at 25.78 Gb/s are also available. Maximum optical channel bandwidth is 28 GHz at negative 3 dBo.
How does the N1092A compare to the 86100D DCA for manufacturing test?
The N1092A delivers 86100D DCA-class measurement accuracy in a compact, cost-effective form factor designed for high-volume manufacturing. It uses the same high-performance acquisition system and optical channel hardware found in the 86100 plug-in modules. Measurement throughput is up to 300 percent faster than the 86100D thanks to significantly higher sampling rates, and existing FlexDCA automation programs transfer directly.
What is the noise floor of the N1092A optical channel?
The N1092A optical channel has characteristic RMS noise as low as 4 microWatts, creating a measurement system with very high dynamic range. This sensitivity is significantly better than the comparable 86100 system, making the N1092A particularly well suited for PAM-4 waveform analysis where high dynamic range is essential.
Can the N1092A perform pattern lock and advanced jitter analysis?
Yes, the N1092A supports pattern lock with Option PLK, which enables a record length of up to 131,072 samples. Pattern lock is required for advanced analysis features including Option 200 (jitter decomposition), Option 201 (advanced waveform analysis with MATLAB integration), Option 300 (amplitude/noise analysis and RIN), Option SIM (Infinisim waveform transformation), and Option 9FP (PAM-N analysis).
What sampling rate does the N1092A provide?
The N1092A provides a standard sampling rate of 100 kHz, which can be increased to 250 kHz with Option FS1. The sample rate remains constant regardless of how many channels are active, ensuring consistent measurement speed in multi-channel configurations. This throughput advantage over the 86100D platform makes it especially effective for production-line optical transceiver testing.
How is the N1092A controlled in an automated test environment?
The N1092A is controlled via a USB 2.0 or 3.0 connection to a PC running the free N1010A FlexDCA software. For automated test systems, the recommended architecture connects the primary test controller to a secondary PC over LAN, with FlexDCA on the secondary PC communicating to the N1092A over USB. The API is SCPI over LAN using VXI-11 or HiSlip protocols.
What wavelengths are supported by the N1092A optical channel?
The N1092A supports wavelengths from 750 to 1630 nm for both multimode and single-mode signals. Factory-calibrated optical-to-electrical conversion gains are provided at 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm (plus or minus 20 nm). The fiber input accepts 50/125 micrometer multimode fiber, and return loss is negative 24 dB at 1310 nm and 1550 nm wavelengths.
What timebase jitter performance does the N1092A achieve?
The N1092A timebase delivers jitter of less than 450 fs rms in its standard configuration (slew rate 2 V/ns or greater). With Option LOJ installed, residual jitter is reduced to less than 160 fs rms. Time interval accuracy is 1 ps plus 0.2% of the measured time interval for delay settings within 1 ns of the absolute minimum, improving to 5 ps plus 0.1% for larger delay settings.
