   Keysight (Agilent) N4903B   Description / Specification:    
Keysight (Agilent) N4903B 7 Gb/s / 12.5 Gb/s J-BERT High-Performance Serial BERT

The Agilent N4903B J-BERT high-performance serial BERT is the flagship of Agilent’s N4900 serial BERT series. It addresses the needs of R&D and validation teams who characterize serial I/O ports or ASICs up to 14.2 Gb/s. The data rate can be extended up to 28.4 Gb/s by adding a 2:1 multiplexer and demultiplexer with clock data recovery. Integrated and calibrated jitter sources for jitter tolerance measurements allow designers to characterize and prove compliance of their receiver’s jitter tolerance. The quick eye diagram allows a one-shot check for a valid signal. Due to the higher sampling depth of a BERT, the eye contour lines visualize the measured eye at a deeper BER level for more accurate results. Extrapolated eye contour lines display the eye opening for even lower BER levels, such as 10^-15, reducing the measurement time significantly. Specifications-pattern generator.

*This is a Web introductory price for one calibration of the Keysight (Agilent) N4903B. Price does not in most cases include measurement performance data. Pricing does include NIST traceable calibration and issue of a calibration certificate and calibration label. Pricing may vary slightly due to volume and location of laboratory supporting calibration. Volume pricing may apply. On-site fees may apply depending on logistics, location and volume of work to be completed during the visit.


Related Communication Terms and Definitions. For a complete list go to our  Terms and Definitions Page.

Decibel (dB)
A unit of measurement of optical power which indicates relative power. A -10 dB means a reduction in power by 10 times, -20 dB means another 10 times or 100 times overall, -30 means another 10 times or 1000 times overall and so on.

PDH
Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) is a transmission system for voice communication using plesiochronous synchronisation. The transmitter adds dummy information bits to allow multiple channels to be bit interleaved. The receiver discards these bits once the signals have been demultiplexed. PDH combines multiple 2 Mb/s (E1) channels in Europe and 1.544 Mb/s (DS1) channels in the US and Japan.

Spectral Width
Spectral Width is the wavelength interval over which the magnitude of all spectral components is equal to or greater than a specified fraction of the magnitude of the component having the maximum value. In optical communications applications, the usual method of specifying spectral width is the full width at half maximum. This is the same convention used in bandwidth, defined as the frequency range where power drops by less than half (at most -3 dB).
