Features & Benefits
Applications
*1 Bandwidth is determined by plug-in modules and may exceed 70 GHz should higher speed modules become available in the future.
Communications Signal Analysis Solutions
Specifically designed for high-performance communications applications, the CSA8000B Communications Signal Analyzer is the ideal tool for design evaluation and manufacturing test of datacom and telecom components, transceiver subassemblies and transmission systems.
The CSA8000B generates measurement results, not just raw data, with time and amplitude histograms, mask testing and statistical measurements. It provides a communications-tailored measurement set that includes jitter, noise, duty cycle, overshoot, undershoot, extinction ratio, Q-factor, mean optical power and amplitude measurements for both RZ and NRZ signals.
In addition, mask testing of SDH/SONET, Gigabit Ethernet and other standards simplifies conformance testing.
A large, full color display helps you to discriminate waveform details. Color-grading of waveform data adds a third dimension, sample density, to your signal acquisitions and analyses.
Modularity and Flexibility
The CSA8000B supports a large and growing family of optical and electrical plug-in modules. This modular architecture lets you configure the instrument with the right features for your application both now and in the future.
The available optical modules provide complete optical test solutions for both telecom (155 Mb/s to 43 Gb/s) and datacom (Fibre Channel, InfiniBand and Gigabit Ethernet) applications.
Each optical module includes all of the elements necessary for communications testing, including an optical to electrical converter, an average power monitor, up to five data rate filters, a full bandwidth path and a low-noise electrical sampler. In addition, clock recovery is available as an option for most optical modules.
The electrical plug-ins include a variety of modules with bandwidths up to 70+ GHz and specialized features such as Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR). High bandwidth probes are also available for constructing a total acquisition and measurement solution.
Superior Performance
With its industry-best horizontal timebase stability, trigger jitter, signal sensitivity and noise performance, the CSA8000B ensures the most accurate acquired signal for high-speed optical communications testing.
The CSA8000B's multi-processor architecture, with dedicated per channel digital signal processors (DSP), also provides industry-best waveform acquisition rates that shorten test times.
The CSA8000B's FrameScan™ acquisition mode can be used with a variety of BERTs and/or protocol analyzers to isolate pattern dependent effects in transmitters or show the bit sequence leading up to a mask violation. FrameScan acquisition mode also allows averaging of eye diagrams. This can be used to extract a clean eye diagram from noisy low-level signals.
8000 Series Sampling Oscilloscope Platform
The CSA8000B is built on Tektronix' sampling oscilloscope platform that combines familiar MS Windows-based PC technologies with world-class waveform acquisition technology.
This platform provides a wide array of standard instrumentation and communications interfaces (such as GPIB, Parallel Printer Port, RS-232-C and USB Serial Ports and an Ethernet LAN connection). In addition, the platform includes several mass storage devices (floppy disk, removable hard drive and CD-ROM). Gated triggering, a feature that allows the exclusion of selected time periods from being measured, is offered as an option.
Finally, because the system supports an Open Windows environment, new levels of data analysis can be done directly on the instrument using commercially available software packages.
Additionally, TekVISA™, a standard software accessory, allows the instrument to be placed under the control of software applications (e.g., LabView, LabWindows, Visual Basic, Microsoft Excel, C, etc.) running on the instrument, or on external PC workstations network connected to the instrument, without the need for a GPIB hardware interface. Plug and play drivers for LabView and other programs are also supplied.
