The BERT-1102 is an 8-channel PPG and Error Detector for the design, characterization and manufacturing test of optical transceivers and opto-electrical components with symbol rates up to 28 GBaud in both NRZ and PAM4 formats. Error Location Analysis is a powerful but underused tool that can give designers, test engineers, and technicians a huge hardware debug advantage. 0 standard specification requires an oscilloscope with at least 25 GHz analog bandwidth and a BERT which can test bit rates of at least 16 Gbps. 0 16 gigabit per second (Gbps) serial data signals. While real time oscilloscopes capture blocks of contiguous data with high resolution and the ability to analyze waveform shape. The enhanced Bit Error Rate Tester measures the correctness of data received on T1/E1 lines (contiguous and non-contiguous timeslots, sub-channels) according to a repetitive fixed or pseudorandom pattern for a given transmission. The application also supports sub-channel selection (fractional BERT.
