This apart, engineers can place two of the new 70 GHz instruments in the same space as a standard lab performance oscilloscope to benefit from additional acquisition performance while minimizing the distance to the modulation analyzer for improved signal fidelity.
The new UltraSync solution enables a multi-instrument acquisition system with coordinated triggers for inherent acquisition-to-acquisition jitter better than typical channel-to-channel jitter in any single instrument. It includes a high-speed data path to transfer waveforms from extension units to the master unit for rapid analysis.
“In addition to offering new optical modulation receivers at 45 GHz, we deliver the most complete coherent optical solution with the signal integrity of a 70 GHz bandwidth ATI oscilloscope and improved configuration flexibility,” said Brian Reich, general manager, Performance Oscilloscopes, Tektronix.
Tektronix said the OM4245 45 GHz Optical Modulation Analyzer is capable of dual-polarization coherent optical analysis up to 80 GBaud. It offers narrow linewidth lasers and supports the Tektronix OM-Series User Interface (OUI).
For analysis beyond 400G, the OM4245 offers Multi-Carrier Support (option MCS) that delivers automated analysis for any configuration of multi-carrier systems including 800G and 1Tb architectures.
