The Agilent N4373C Lightwave Component Analyzer (LCA) offers a modulation bandwidth of 50/67 GHz which makes it the ideal choice to develop and characterize electro-optical components, for 40G/10GbE. It achieves fast measurements by including the E8361/63C Performance Network Analyzer. A unique new calibration concept significantly reduces setup time to a maximum of several minutes, depending on the selected measurement parameters. Using the advanced measurement capabilities of the network analyzer, all S-parameter related characteristics of the device under test, like responsivity and 3 dB-cutoff frequency, can be qualified with the new N4373C Lightwave Component Analyzer from 10 MHz to 40/50/67 GHz.
