ParBERT 43G Components
Two preconfigured bundles are available for 43.2 Gbit/s key applications:
• Agilent E4894A 43.2 Gbit/s pattern generator bundle
• Agilent E4895A 43.2 Gbit/s error detector bundle
43.2 Gbit/s Pattern Generator Bundle
The Agilent E4894A 43.2 Gbit/s pattern generator bundle multiplexes
sixteen 2.7 Gbit/s data generators to create a 43.2 Gbit/s data stream. The
bundle includes:
• One 13-slot VXI mainframe
• One IEEE 1394 PC link to VXI
• One E4808A high performance clock module
• Sixteen 2.7 Gbit/s generator frontends E4862A built into eight E4861A
2.7 Gbit/s data modules
• One 43.2 Gbit/s multiplexer module, including 32 cables to connect to
the 2.7 Gbit/s channels (SMA to MCX), and a cable pair to connect to
the DUT (1.85 mm to 1.85 mm)
• 15446A 8-line trigger input pod
• E4875A ParBERT software
