Anritsu Web Exhibition - 400G Testing and Beyond (Mar. 2020) -
On this site, you can virtually visit the high- speed optical network testing products and solutions exhibits that were going to be shown at this year’s OFC 2020. We've captured the demo on video and documents below. Please look at our contents.
Station 1: 400G Optical TDECQ Test
This station demonstrates the auto equalization capability of the MP1900A/MP2110A combination. TDECQ characterizes the quality of a transmitted PAM4 eye rather than using eye masks traditionally used for NRZ transmission. This Anritsu solution coordinates MP1900A Emphasis and Linearity settings with MP2110A embedded TDECQ equalizer and filter to create a fully closed loop measurement system to optimize and measure TDECQ.
Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A / BERTWave™ MP2110A (100G BERT, Sampling Oscilloscope)

MP1900A series is an 8-slot modular, high-performance BERT supporting all-in-one Physical layer measurements of both high-speed network interfaces as NRZ and PAM4, and PCI Express/USB, bus interface. This year, the MP1900A has been honored with a high score (4.5 out of 5) by the judges of the 2020 Lightwave Innovation Reviews.

Station 2: 400G JTOL Test for PAM4 with FEC
This station demonstrates the clock recovery, automated jitter tolerance and ED capture functions when the DUT generates errors. Traditional jitter tolerance scenarios have the DUT operating in a loopback to drive data back into the MP1900A error detector for BER measurements. Anritsu supports the scenario where the DUT’s on-chip error checker provides the BER data in a jitter tolerance loop. The MP1900A’s jitter tolerance application seamlessly interoperates with customer DUTs as well as other equipment to query BER and other data to be used as a metric in the jitter tolerance measurement.

Station 3: 100G Optical Module Test
This station shows 4-channel simultaneous BER and scope test of 100G optical modules such as QSFP as well as the optical spectrum. The MP2110A BERTWave supports high speed optical module testing, simultaneously performing 4-lane BER measurements as well as optical and electrical waveform analysis. The MS9740B Optical Spectrum Analyzer embedded applications support fast characterization of WDM and other optical signals. This combined solution reduces production costs by shortening multi-lane active optical device evaluation times and supporting efficient BER and signal analysis.
