Pulse pattern generator, error detector help size up 400-GbE optical modules
The 64-Gbaud PAM4 Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and 32-Gbaud PAM4 Error Detector (ED) modules support 400 GbE and Over 400G bit error rate (BER) tests for Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A BERT. With the modules installed, the MP1900A provides engineers with high signal quality and excellent Rx sensitivity to more accurately verify the performance of […]
RF menus in the Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope
Many oscilloscope users become adept at acquiring signals in the time domain and using Math>FFT in mixed domain oscilloscopes to display signals simultaneously in time and frequency domains. This is excellent for demonstrating the fundamental relationship between these different display modes, and the whole thing is user-friendly and intuitive. In a Tektronix MDO3000 oscilloscope, at […]
Modules let spectrum analyzers serve as I/Q sources within open-source GNU radio apps
GNU Radio modules for the BB60C and SM200A spectrum analyzers allow the analyzers to be used as I/Q sources from within GNU Radio, as blocks in a flowgraph, components of a hierarchical block, or called from a script. According to Roger Rush, lead developer on the project, “Signal Hound and GNU Radio share a software-based […]

The new 980 DisplayPort 1.4 Video Generator/Analyzer module now supports the industry’s first DSC/FEC video generator and additional link-layer compliance tests for FEC, main link audio, video and power management. Initiated through the intuitive 980 Manager GUI, these tests are becoming a requirement for products to carry the VESA logo, signifying that the DisplayPort has […]
Protocol analyzer and exerciser platforms address need for UFS storage media testing
The Eclipse T42 UniPro/UFS protocol analyzer and Eclipse M42x UniPro/UFS protocol analyzer/exerciser platforms offer design and test engineers and system integrators a robust and cost-effective approach to test UFS, the current storage media standard in smartphones, tablets and embedded systems such as heads-up displays (HUD) and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The Eclipse Protocol Analyzer and […]
5G NR Measurement Software for MT8870A Universal Test Set
Two software packages for the Anritsu Universal Wireless Test Set MT8870A support 3GPP-compliant tests on 5G sub-6 GHz New Radio (NR) chipsets, devices, and systems. Part of Anritsu’s on-going development of test solutions to aid in the rollout of 5G, the new software, coupled with the MT8870A’s best-in-class measurement speed, can lower test costs and […]
Test bed demo: Getting ready for emerging millimeter wave applications
We recently talked with Greg Jue from Keysight who took us through a demo of an R&D test bed for emerging millimeter wave applications. Specifically, as an application example, Jue set up an example 802.11ay system. The 802.11ay spec is designed as an improvement of the 802.11ad WLAN definition that will have a frequency of […]
