The MP1800A from Anritsu is a modular-type, plug-in, bit error rate tester (BERT) that supports a wide range of bit rates from 0.1 to 32.1 Gbit/s for signal integrity analyses of various applications, such as 100 GbE (25Gx4), OTU-4 (28Gx4), 32G DP-QPSK, CEI-28G, 32G FC and Infiniband EDR (26G). The analyzer incorporates a Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) module for generating the highest-amplitude signals in the industry, as well as an Error Detector (ED) module with the highest input sensitivity available. It can be configured to generate the high-quality, low S/N, PAM4 and PAM8 data signals necessary for the characterization of high-speed backplanes and 400 GbE interfaces when the MZ1834A/MZ1838A 4PAM/8PAM Converters are used.
