Description
The SHF 11100B is an error analyzer plug-in which can be fitted into any the SHF 10000 Series
mainframes.
1

It has broadband operation from 1.5 to 56 Gbps and features high sensitivity and a wide clock phase
7911152023margin. It allows the analysis of PRBS signals with pattern lengths of 2 -1, 2 -1, 2 -1, 2 -1, 2 -1, 2 -1
31
and 2 -1. User patterns can also be analyzed.
In a back-to back configuration with the SHF 12100 B, the system Q-factor is an impressive 25 (28dB),
31
measured using a 2 -1 PRBS pattern.
