MP2100B Oscilloscope

Anritsu's BERTWave MP2100B is an all-in-one test instrument integrating BERT and a sampling oscilloscope for the research, development, and production of optical modules. It features a built-in 12.5 Gbit/s Pulse Pattern Generator (PPG) and Error Detector (ED) supporting up to 4 channels, while the integrated sampling oscilloscope supports electronic and optical bandwidths of 25 GHz and 9 GHz, respectively. With just one MP2100B, synchronous BER measurement and eye diagram analysis for up to 4 channels can be performed, making the testing of multi-channel optical modules such as QSFP+ more cost-effective. Additionally, the new fast sampling mode operates at speeds up to 150k samples per second, reducing eye diagram measurement time.
The high-quality signal output from the PPG has only 1ps of jitter and a Tr/Tf of just 24ps; the ED offers high minimum sensitivity of 10 mVp-p. As a result, the MP2100B is an ideal solution for the accurate evaluation of optical modules and devices.

Key Features:

1. Integrated BERT and Sampling Oscilloscope
Previous measurement systems used a separate PPG as a signal source and a sampling oscilloscope for eye diagram analysis, which not only required significant bench space for the evaluation system but also nearly doubled the equipment cost. The newly released all-in-one MP2100B integrates the PPG and sampling oscilloscope, reducing both space and equipment costs. The MP2100B chassis is only 18 cm deep, fitting even the most crowded benchtops, while the integrated BERT and sampling oscilloscope support synchronous BER measurement and eye diagram analysis, cutting measurement time and reducing inspection costs for optical modules and devices.
2. High-Speed BER Measurement
It can be configured to perform simultaneous measurements for up to 4 channels.
3. High-Speed Eye Diagram Mask Testing
With speeds up to 150k samples per second using the new built-in fast sampling mode, testing time is reduced.
4. Support for Electronic and Optical Interfaces
Built-in support for electronic and optical interfaces reduces time-consuming connection processes, such as cable replacement when evaluating the receiving sensitivity of optical modules.
5. Broad Operating Frequency Range
Built-in support for bit rates from 125 Mbit/s to 12.5 Gbit/s, this all-in-one solution supports applications at various speeds, including STM-1 to 10 GbE.
6. Clock Recovery Function
Equipped with a standard built-in ED clock recovery function, BER analysis can be performed by simply inputting the data signal without requiring an external clock. Additionally, installing the sampling oscilloscope’s clock recovery option allows for optical characteristic evaluation of long-distance transmission and clockless output transmission equipment.
7. Mask Margin Testing
Automated mask margin testing simplifies cumbersome procedures and setups, completing the required mask margin test measurements in about 1 second.
