Key Features

  • Self-synchronizing, wideband Pattern Receiver with error counters
  • Bitrate 1 ... 40 GBit/s
  • Latest technology using SiGe and InPh integrated circuits
  • Operation via front panel or graphical user interface on PC (via USB-port)

Brief description

The Pattern Receiver SBF 40G is designed to be used for bit error rate testing together with the Pattern Generators BPG 30G, BPG 40G 128M or BPG 60G.

Benutzeroberfläche der Steuerungssoftware

The Pattern Receiver SBF 40G is used to detect errors contained in a data stream.

Synchronous clock and data signals are needed to perform a measurement. Four different pseudo random binary sequences (PRBS) of length 27-1, 215-1, 223-1 and 231-1 structured according to the CCITT standard can be analysed using bitrates between 1 and 40 GBit/s.

Two different error rates can be measured: Errors per Bit and Errors per Time. The time interval for error measurements can be choosen between 105 and 1014 bit periods for the Error/Bit measurement and between 10-5 and 104 seconds for the Error/Time measurement.

The instrument can be operated locally via the front panel or remotely controlled via its USB-interface. An easy-to-use graphical user interface is included in the supplied software. Additionally self-programmed software may be used to control the instrument.
