Tektronix Pattern Generator

Rent Tektronix PPG3204 Programmable Pattern Generator, 4 Ch., 32 Gb/s

The Tektronix PatternPro® series programmable pattern generators provide up to four channels of stressed pattern generation for high-speed Datacom testing.

The Tektronix PatternPro® line of high-performance pattern generators offer single and multi-channel configurations capable of data rates up to 32 Gb/s. With optional jitter insertion, the PPG line offers a flexible, cost effective and easy to use test solution supporting high speed applications such as 100 Gigabit Ethernet, 32G Fibre channel, PAM4, DP-QPSK testing, and a broad range of receiver test applications. The single unit multi-channel configurations provide aligned, pattern-independent data outputs that support testing of crosstalk immunity and multi-channel functionality. The PPG line can be paired with the Tektronix PED line of Error Detector products to provide a complete BER test capability. Data rate may be programmed over a broad range of values. (32 Gb/s version shown) Output may be either built-in PRBS patterns or programmed user data patterns.
