Electrical BERT Module
PN L-6001-EBERT-3
DESCRIPTIONEBERT is a Bit Error Rate Test module that plugs in to the XBERT andParalleX™ Chassis. EBERT-3 can generate and receive electrical datafrom 9.9 Gb/s up to 11.3 Gb/s. Optionally the EBERT-3 module canoperate at 4.9 Gb/s up to 5.7 Gb/s. User programmable PRBS patterns
can be changed via an easy to use GUI. A pattern trigger output provides
an electrical trigger synchronous with the pattern for use with anoscilloscope or other test equipment. Optional Pre-emphasis (option 108)
applies frequency selective attenuation to the data signal at the transmit
side to compensate for losses in the transmit medium. Front panel
indicators give immediate status for Tx and Rx Data.

KEY FEATURES
Data Rates 9.9 to 11.3 Gb/s. Optional 4.9 to 5.7 Gb/s
operation (additional CDR module may be necessary for 4.95.7G operation, dependant on device under test)
Protocol independent OC192, Ethernet, Fibrechannel,
Infiniband, 40Gbase, 100Gbase testing
Test XFP, QSFP, SFP+, TOSA/ROSA, AOC, and otherdevices

XBERT PLATFORM: LETS YOU START SMALL AND GROW BIGXBERT is a low-cost, modular Bit Error Rate Test
Platform used for verification and test of 10Gb/s andabove optical and electrical chip, sub assembly andsystem designs. ParalleX™ allows users to performseveral BER tests at once using a single clock source.
The system is ideal for developers desiring to run
simultaneous BER tests on parallel interfaces or multiple
independent interfaces. XBERT and ParalleX™ arescalable so users can start off with a single channel andadd modules to grow the system. Manufacturers canrealize great savings by taking advantage of the XBERTand ParalleX™ system’s scalability to perform parallel
testing in volume production environments.

Measured at: duty cycle 50%, PRBS31, DR=11.3Gbps
Duo-binary precoder function is a feature of the generator part of the EBERT module. To measure the BER of a
duo binary signal it has to be decoded by the user. The duo-binary precoder function can be switched on/off via
GPIB command or GUI.
Pre-emphasis function (option 108) can be adjusted in 22 steps via GPIB commands or GUI.
