Tektronix BSA286CL BERTScope 28.6 Gb/s Bit Error Rate Analyzer

The Tektronix BSA286CL is a high-performance Bit Error Rate Tester (BERT) designed to support data rates up to 28.6 Gb/s. This instrument is ideal for advanced signal integrity testing and characterization of high-speed digital communication systems. The BSA286CL provides comprehensive error analysis and pattern generation, ensuring accurate and thorough bit error rate detection and analysis.

Key Features:

• High Data Rate Support: Capable of testing data rates from 1 Gb/s to 28.6 Gb/s.
• Accurate Jitter Measurement: Supports Total Jitter (TJ), Random Jitter (RJ), and Deterministic Jitter (DJ) measurements compliant with MJSQ jitter methodology.
• Flexible Clocking: Features a generator clock path for sub-rate system clocks and adjustable modulation options for Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC).
• Mask Compliance Contour Testing: Enables mask tests to assure specified eye openings, essential for standards such as XFP/XFI and OIF CEI.
• PatternVu Option: Includes a software-implemented FIR filter for viewing eye diagrams after receiver equalization, enhancing physical measurements.
• Eye Diagram Analysis: Offers deep eye diagram analysis, sampling every point on the perimeter of industry-standard masks with unmatched depth.
