Compact bit-error-rate testers for
10Gbit networks
Instruments provide testing capabilities for 10Gbit/s networks as well as ethernet and 10Gbit/s components such as transmitter and receiver optical subassemblies, XFP transceivers and PIN diodes
Yokogawa has introduced two compact, easy-to-use and economical instruments for 10Gbit/s bit-error-rate testing The AQ2200-601 is based on the successful AQ2200 modular platform and is suited to both laboratory and manufacturing applications, while the AP9945 is a portable unit which is ideal for field testing

"With the increased popularity of high-speed transmission systems, and particularly the use of 10Gbit speeds in both wide-area and local-area networks, the demand for high-speed measurement equipment is increasing", comments Jorg Latzel, product marketing manager for photonic products with Yokogawa Europe.
"Users want compact, economical and easy-to-use test equipment - something that has not been available until now".
These new instruments provide comprehensive testing capabilities for 10Gbit/s networks as well as ethernet and 10Gbit/s components such as transmitter and receiver optical subassemblies, XFP transceivers and PIN diodes.
Both the AQ2200-601 and the AQ9945 offer pulse pattern generation from 9.95Gbit/s up to 11.32Gbit/s, as well as variable amplitude, offset and crosspoint settings.
Internal clock data recovery makes it very easy to run tests without providing a separate clock signal.
The AP9945 is designed to be controlled by an external PC.
All functions and features can be set through the software delivered with the instrument.
PRBS (pseudo-random binary sequence) patterns can be selected between PRBS7 and PRBS31.
The AQ2200-601 offers a 64Mbit program pattern option which allows users to create their own custom patterns including SDH or Sonet patterns.
These patterns, defined using the PC-based software, can be stored on a flash card and transferred to the pulse pattern generator.
With the AQ2200-601 costing between euro 52,000 and 55,000 and the AP9945 from euro 37,000 to 45,000, Yokogawa says these new instruments represent excellent value in terms of price/performance ratio.
