The BA-4000 is a world-class series of 100G/800G electrical BER testers (either 4 or 8 channels) supporting PAM4 or NRZ coding. Bit error rate (BER) is a key performance attribute for digital communications. The signal transmission quality of a network, subsystem or component, can be evaluated using a BER tester, which compares the data stream received to the transmitted sequence and computes the number of errors.
Supports NRZ and PAM4
Supports PRBS 7/9/11/13/15/23/31/13Q/31Q, SSPRQ
Advanced FEC tools
Supports RS-FEC Scrambled Idle Pattern
Channel simulator
Burst/random error injection
O-SMPM connection
Channel histogram
Channel mapping
Automation: API support
FEC encoded scrambled idle
With the FEC Generator and Checker (FGC) option, the BA-4000 addresses RS-FEC scrambled idle pattern for testing 53 GBd host side interfaces as part of the development of new-generation 800G optics, including optical transceivers, DAC, etc.
