Anritsu MP1900A Signal Quality Analyzer-R

The Anritsu MP1900A is an 8-slot modular, high-performance BERT supporting all-in-one Physical layer measurements of both high-speed network interfaces as NRZ and PAM4, and PCI Express/USB, bus interfaces

To cope with increasing data traffic caused by the widespread popularity of smartphones and mobile terminals, data-center network interfaces are being transitioned to the faster 200 GbE/400 GbE/800 GbE standards, while communications-equipment interconnects are adopting PCI Express Gen5 supporting faster speeds of 32 Gbit/s; multi-channel technologies are also being deployed.
Anritsu’s Signal Quality Analyzer-R MP1900A series is a high-performance BERT with 8 slots for modules, such as PPG, ED and Jitter/Noise Generator, to expand measurement applications supporting signal integrity analyses of ever-faster devices. In addition to Physical layer measurement functions for broadband network interfaces, the all-in-one MP1900A supports PCI Express bus, etc., interface measurements.

Target Applications
100 GbE/200 GbE/400 GbE/800 GbE, CEI-25G/28G/56G/112G, InfiniBand EDR/HDR, Fibre Channel, PCI Express Gen1/2/3/4/5, Thunderbolt 1/2/3, USB3.2/4 Type C, SAS-3/-4, DP1.4, Optical module, SERDES, AOC, High-speed Interconnect

Due to the explosive growth of data traffic resulting from the popularity of smartphones and mobile terminals, network interfaces are transitioning to faster 200/400 GbE standards, and PCI bus interface speeds now exceed 10G. In addition, the equipment and chipsets using these interfaces support multi-channels and multi-protocols. The MP1900A series is a high-performance BERT with excellent expandability for supporting Physical layer evaluations of these high-speed interfaces. The all-in-one design is ideal for early stage R&D evaluations of all interfaces covering next-generation Ethernet networks to bus interconnects
