The Keysight (formerly Agilent) N4951A-P32 Pattern Generator Remote Head is available in 5 to 32 Gb/s configuration. This compact device offers compatibility with the N4960A Serial BERT controller and can be used to test up to 32 Gb/s per channel for 100 Gigabit Ethernet devices and other applications involving high-data rate devices. This N4951A-P32 Pattern Generator Remote Head also offers PRBS and user pattern support.
Key Specifications and Features of the Keysight (formerly Agilent) N4951A-P32:
Frequency:
- 1 to 16 GHz with no remote heads connected
- 2 to 8.5 GHz when one or two 17 Gb/s remote heads are connected
- 2.5 to 16 GHz when one or two 32 Gb/s remote heads are connected
Frequency resolution:
Outputs:
- Jitter (stressed), Delay, and Divided (non-stressed)
Output configuration (all outputs):
- Differential, with amplitude, offset and termination voltage adjustment (can be used single-ended without terminating unused outputs)
Amplitude range:
- 300 mV to 1.7 V (p-p), single-ended
Offset range:
- ?2.4 to 2.4 V (limited by termination voltage, see Figure 24) on divided clock output, this is only valid when the divide ratio is a power of 2
Termination voltage range:
- ?2.4 to 2.4 V (limited by offset voltage, see Figure 24)
Rise time:
- (20% to 80%) < 23 ps typical
Intrinsic jitter:
- < 700 fs rms typical from 2 to 16 GHz
Duty cycle Jitter and delay outputs:
Divided output:
- 50% ?5% at divide ratios which are a power of Dut
