Product Overview

The demand for transfer of large amounts of data, such as video, over the internet, has resulted in expansion of high speed transmission circuits and other infrastructure. In addition to the previously used STM-64/OC-192 (9.95328 Gbit/s) standards, we have seen use of 10.709225 Gbit/s (OTU-2) (and now even beyond), which includes FEC coding, as well as 3.125 Gbit/s x 4 and 10.3125 Gbit/s in 10 Gbit Ethernet. Furthermore, the Fibre Channel file transfer protocol at 4.25 Gbit/s is also coming into actual use.

As new standards are settled upon, there is a need to be able to support evaluation of devices and circuits at these higher bit rates. At this late stage, the Anritsu MP1763C can be used to support these older standards/data rates.

The Anritsu MP1763C Pulse Pattern Generator and MP1764C/1764D Error Detector are a BERTS (Bit Error Rate Test Set) supporting evaluation and testing of transmission equipment, high-speed devices, optical modules, etc., at every stage from R&D through to manufacturing and production at speeds from 50 Mbit/s to 12.5 Gbit/s.

Features of the Anritsu MP1763C Pulse Pattern Generator include:

• Internal Clock (only with Option 01)
  Can be set in units of 1 kHz over the range from 50 MHz to 12.5 GHz
• Programmable Patterns
  •8-Mbit programmable pattern (can set six STM-64 frames)
  •4-Mbit alternate pattern
  •Zero substitution pattern
  •PRBS pattern from 2'7-1 to 2'31-1 selectable and its mark ratiocan be varied.
• Synchronous Output
  The 1/64 clock or pattern SYNC selectable.
  The trigger position variable for the pattern SYNC
• DATA Output
  DATA/DATA complementary output with back termination
• CLOCK Output
  CLOCK 1/CLOCK 1, CLOCK 2 (3 systems)
  CLOCK 1/CLOCK 1 with back termination
• Parallel Output
  Useful for testing an 8:1 MUX
  (changeable to 1/4 speed output with option)
  •1/8 parallel output is standard. 1/4 parallel output (Option 03) or
  1/4 differential output (Option 08) can be selected exclusively.
  •It can be used as a data generator for evaluation of MUX
  devices, WDM transmission equipment, high-speed buses, backplanes, etc.
