SERIAL E-BERT

General Description

Phytrex PBR-310C BERT System (hereafter

called PBR-310C) is an perfect manufacturing

testing gear aim for 10Gb/s level optical and

electrical devices or modules. It provides wide

bandwidth and continues data rates between

8.5Gb/s ~ 11.1Gb/s and extended data rate

down to 125Mb/s to 5Gb/s. It can also provide

symmetric and asymmetric test especially on

optical components and transceiver module

compliance to today’s most popular application

such as 10G-PON,10GE-PON and SFP+.

PBR-310C provides the variable patterns and

receiver was built-in clock recovery unit ,

"synchronized loss" detector and error lamp

could provides an useful indication for

manufacturing purpose. The remote control

interface generally provides the USB or RS232

serial port, with the development API for

Labview, VB and Microsoft C#.NET versatile

developing platform.

User Interface

PBR-310C provide the intuitive and easy to use

graphical user interface control software which

provides the following functions.

- Pattern Generator/Error Detector Setup

Eye Diagram and Eye Mask Test

is the eye monitoring function embedded in

PBR-310C. It allows a one-shot eye diagram test for

a valid signal from 8.5~11.1Gb/s without any

trigger input. Extrapolated eye contour lines

display the eye opening for even lower BER levels,

more. The display allows the quick check for

relative eye parameters. Eye masks can be loaded

from a library and eye mask violation check can be

set from 0~30% margin for the DUT waveform

testing criteria. The result screen can be printed

and saved for documentation purpose.

Eye contour and Histogram

Eye opening is a key characteristic for a device.

More deeper views with BER and eye contour

simultaneously are much desiable. eyetrex

provides eye contour and histogram on vertical

/horizontal axis ..

histogram

Four Channel Mode

PBR-310C can enable the four channels

measurement mode with new system GUI.

Users can control multiple PBR-310C via the USB

cable link to implement the 4 channel

measurement BER and Eye Diagram measurement

simultaneously.

Driver Power Amp. (option03)

PBR310C provides amplifier for the option to drive

the LiNbO3 Mach- Zehder optical modulator

(MZM) or electro-absorption modulator (EAM) for

long haul transmission.

Re-drive Data and Recovery Clock Output

(option 07,08)

PBR-310 equips with re-drive and recovery clock

circuits on data input port. (Figure 12).

Re-drive function can compensate the channel loss

and Recovery clock extract from the input data

stream and provide 1/64 of data rate differential

output from internal CRU.
