Keysight Technologies N1092B Spec Sheet
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the optical channel bandwidth of the Keysight N1092B with Option 30A?
The N1092B with Option 30A offers a 28 GHz optical channel bandwidth (characteristic), calculated from the 6 dBe point when using the 32G Fibre Channel reference receiver filter. This bandwidth supports data rates from 20 Gb/s through 32G Fibre Channel at 28.05 Gb/s, making it suitable for high-speed optical transmitter compliance testing.
How many optical channels does the N1092B DCA-M provide?
The N1092B is a dual optical channel sampling oscilloscope, allowing simultaneous measurements on two independent optical channels. This configuration enables parallel testing or multi-channel analysis without requiring multiple instruments, significantly improving measurement throughput in both R&D and manufacturing environments.
What is the RMS noise specification for the N1092B at 1550 nm wavelength?
At 1550 nm, the N1092B with Option 30A exhibits characteristic RMS noise ranging from 3.5 microW for 100GBASE-SR4 TDEC measurements to 6 microW for 32G Fibre Channel and Ethernet OTU4 FEC applications. Maximum RMS noise values range from 5.5 microW to 8.5 microW depending on the data rate, providing excellent sensitivity for low-power optical measurements.
Can the N1092B measure PAM4 optical signals?
Yes, when configured with Options LOJ (Low Jitter timebase), PLK (Pattern Lock), and IRC (Impulse Response Correction), the N1092B can measure 26 GBaud and 53 GBaud PAM4 signals. The SIRC filter ranges support measurements from 12.89 GBd to 53.125 GBd, enabling comprehensive PAM4 waveform analysis for next-generation optical communications.
What computer requirements are needed to control the N1092B?
For a dual channel setup with the N1092B, Keysight recommends an Intel I5 processor or better with 8 GB memory and Windows 7 (64 bit). The instrument connects via USB 2.0 or 3.0 and is controlled using the free FlexDCA software interface, which communicates over LAN using SCPI commands with VXI-11 or HiSlip protocol.
What wavelengths are factory calibrated on the N1092B with Option 30A?
The N1092B with Option 30A comes factory calibrated at three standard wavelengths: 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm, each within a tolerance of plus or minus 20 nm. These calibrations apply to both the average power monitor and the channel vertical path, covering the most common optical communication wavelengths for multimode and single-mode applications.
What is the maximum sample rate of the N1092B?
The standard N1092B offers a maximum sample rate of 100 kHz per channel, with each channel sampling independently regardless of how many channels are active. With the optional FS1 (Fast Sampling) upgrade, the sample rate increases to 250 kHz, providing significantly faster measurement throughput for high-volume production testing environments.
What is the time interval accuracy of the N1092B in pattern lock mode?
In pattern lock mode, the N1092B achieves a time interval accuracy of plus or minus 150 fs, plus or minus 1% of 1/(clock input frequency), or plus or minus 4 ps (whichever is smaller) when measured at temperatures within 5 degrees C of horizontal calibration. At tighter temperature control within 1 degree C, the characteristic accuracy improves to 0.3% of 1/(clock input frequency) or 1.2 ps.
