Teledyne LeCroy WAVEPULSER-40IX
4-port, 40 GHz High Speed Interconnect Analyzer, 2.92 (mm)
Rent or Lease • Buy Used
Test in Both Frequency and Time Domains
WavePulser 40iX High-speed Interconnect Analyzer is the ideal, single measurement tool for high-speed hardware designers and test engineers, with all the features and capabilities that VNAs and TDRs lack. Make one acquisition, then measure in both frequency and time domains.
S-parameters
WavePulser 40iX High-speed Interconnect Analyzer calculates both single-ended and mixed-mode S-parameters from one acquisition. Just change settings and recalculate results without having to reacquire.
Impedance Profiles
WavePulser 40iX High-speed Interconnect Analyzer calculates impedance profiles with < 1 mm spatial resolution.

What frequency range does the WavePulser 40iX cover for S-parameter measurements?
The WavePulser 40iX provides full S-parameter measurements from DC to 40 GHz. This wide frequency range enables complete characterization of high-speed interconnects without requiring extrapolation to DC and low frequencies, which is ideal for serial-data applications and modern high-speed digital interfaces operating at multi-gigabit data rates.
What is the spatial resolution of the WavePulser 40iX impedance profiling?
The WavePulser 40iX delivers spatial resolution of less than 1 mm for impedance profile measurements. This high resolution enables precise location of impairments such as improperly tightened connectors, damaged cables, incorrect cable-bend radiuses, and defective vias on transmission lines. The unit provides both differential-mode and common-mode impedance profiling with this spatial precision.
Does the WavePulser 40iX require external calibration standards?
No, the WavePulser 40iX features internal, automatic OSLT calibration standards built into the instrument. Calibration is automated, simple, and fast, requiring only one connection to the DUT before pressing Go. This eliminates the need to purchase additional external calibration standards and reduces the likelihood of calibration errors compared to manual processes.
What is the rise time specification for TDR measurements?
The WavePulser 40iX delivers an 8.5 ps rise time (20% to 80%) with a 16 ps nominal pulse width at the 50% point. This fast rise time enables accurate time-domain reflectometry (TDR) measurements for characterizing high-speed interconnects and detecting discontinuities in transmission lines with exceptional precision.
Can the WavePulser 40iX perform equalization analysis for serial data channels?
Yes, the WavePulser 40iX includes deep analysis toolbox capabilities for emulating equalized eye diagrams with CTLE (Continuous Time Linear Equalization), FFE (Feed Forward Equalization), and DFE (Decision Feedback Equalization). It also supports PLL settings, pre-emphasis, and de-emphasis, allowing complete serial-data channel emulation and optimization of equalization settings for various high-speed standards.
How many ports does the WavePulser 40iX have and what connector type?
The WavePulser 40iX is a 4-port instrument equipped with 2.92 mm connectors. The unit includes four phase-matched calibrated cables, enabling both single-ended and mixed-mode S-parameter measurements. The 4-port configuration supports comprehensive differential and common-mode analysis of high-speed interconnects.
What is the dynamic range of the WavePulser 40iX in frequency domain measurements?
The WavePulser 40iX provides a dynamic range of 56 dB at 40 GHz in normal mode, with an extended 66 dB at 40 GHz in extra mode. This wide dynamic range ensures accurate characterization of both high and low amplitude signals across the full frequency spectrum, essential for identifying subtle impairments in high-speed interconnects.
What de-embedding and time-gating capabilities does the instrument offer?
The WavePulser 40iX provides advanced de-embedding to remove the effects of cables, adapters, and fixtures from DUT measurements using either measured or modeled S-parameters. Time-gating can be set manually through port extension or by using an impedance peeling algorithm, allowing accurate reporting of DUT S-parameters by eliminating unwanted connector and cable effects. Results can be saved with or without the gate region applied.
