M8020A-M8041A, 16.2 Gb/s, 2 channel high performance J-BERT generator/analyser/clock

The Keysight Technologies M8020A enables fast, accurate receiver characterization of single- and multi-lane devices running up to 16 or 32 Gb/s. With today’s highest level of integration, the M8020A streamlines your test setup. In addition, automated in situ calibration of signal conditions ensures accurate and repeatable measurements. Through interactive link training, it can behave like the link partner of your device under test. The J-BERT M8020A will accelerate insight into your design.data rates up to 16 Gb/s for pattern generator and error detector integrated and calibrated jitter injection: RJ, PJ1, PJ2, SJ, BUJ, sinusoidal interference (common-mode and differential-mode), SSC (triangular and arbitrary, residual) 8-tap de-emphasis (positive and negative) up to 20 dB integrated and adjustable ISI for loss emulation interactive link training for SAS-3, USB 3.0/3.1 and PCI Express supporting 8 GT/s and 16 GT/s interactive TxEQ training for IEEE 10GBASE-KR, 25GBASE-KR, and 100GBASE-KR4 built-in clock data recovery and equalization system integration with M8070A software for M8000 BER series seamless operation with BERT/scope and arbitrary waveform generators.
