New optical transceiver test platform reduces test time and boasts repeatability, addressing test challenges for optical manufactures striving to meet demand for increased bandwidth and network capacity. Tektronix Introduces the 8 Series Sampling Oscilloscope Platform with Support for 56GBd and 28GBd Applications
T ektronix has recently up to 4 channels per mainframe and the highest measurement accuracy for PAM4 optical signals on multiple inputs simultaneously. The 8 Series consists of the TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope Mainframe, optical sampling modules, and TSOVu, a new software platform that runs independent of the mainframe on host PC for both live and offline processing of acquired data. Tektronix also introduces the TCR801, an external optical clock recovery module which covers dual band ranges around both 26GBd and 53GBd. These instruments and software provide a platform solution for fast acquisition and analysis. announced the new 8 Series sampling platform, a disaggregated modular instrument series boasting parallel acquisition, with “Our customers are facing new daily challenges in having to support new emerging technologies,” says Dean Miles, Tektronix Technical Marketing Manager. “Increased demand for bandwidth and network capacity is forcing the industry to adopt to direct
users can quickly add new analysis capabilities and reconfigure test systems to support upcoming standards and changes in workflow. Offline and remote modes of operation extend the analysis and visualization capability of the TSO820 beyond the oscilloscope to a user computing environment, facilitating seamless transition from design phase to debug, characterization and manufacturing test. Save time, space, and money with modular design. Optimize test setups with the
detect transceivers with higher baud rates, PAM4 modulation and multiple lanes .These changes have resulted in new customer pain points such as increase in test time, complexity and cost as well challenges with regards to more complex tuning, parallel testing with less margins and higher yield loss .The introduction of the new Tektronix 8 Series helps solve these customer critical problems by delivering a scalable platform that reduces test times, while also providing fast, accurate and repeatable test results,” Miles confirmed. The 8 Series’ mainframe is a configurable, compact instrument with the
smallest modular form factor in the market, at 3U high. Built to maximize the utilization of the rack space, this instrument is ideal for optical manufacturing applications, where
