Tektronix BSA286CL

The Tektronix BSA286CL BERTScope Bit Error Rate Tester Series provides a new approach to signal integrity measurements of serial data systems. The BSA286CL allows users to perform bit error rate detection more quickly, accurately, and thoroughly by bridging eye diagram analysis with BER pattern generation. The Tektronix BSA286CL BERTScope Bit Error Rate Tester Series enable you to easily isolate problematic bit and pattern sequences, then analyze further with advanced error analysis that deliver unprecedented statistical measurement depth.

The Key Features of the Tektronix BSA286CL include:

• Frequency range: 1-28.6 GHz
• Data rate range: 1 to 28.6 Gb/s
• Phase noise: < ?90 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset (typical)
• Clock output divide ratios: Opt. STR only
