The Tektronix BSA286C BERTScope Bit Error Rate Tester enables precise signal integrity measurements for serial data systems. With internal sinusoidal jitter from 1 kHz to 100 MHz and a data output rate up to 28.6 Gbps, it merges eye diagram analysis and BER pattern generation. Key specs include sub-rate clock outputs ranging from 0.250 to 3.575 GHz and clock outputs up to 28.6 GHz.
This model supports 802.3ba calibration, including VECP and J2/J9, making it ideal for 100G Ethernet silicon testing. Advanced error analysis isolates problematic bit sequences with exceptional statistical depth.
