Agilent’s 81490A Reference Transmitter is designed to offer excellent eye quality as a reference for testing 10 GbE-L and 10 Gb-E according to IEEE 802.3ae and according to 10 GFC Fibre Channel specifications. The module is fully integrated into the industry standard LMS 816xB platform.

Benefits
• Repeatable and reproducible measurements permit lower production test margins and improved specifications of the characterized devices.
• Reliable measurements ensure comparability of the test results.
• Support for full compliance to IEEE 802.3 stressed eye test in combination with the N4917A Optical Receiver Stress Test solution.
• Wide extinction range offers highest test range coverage to ensure best quality of the tested devices under all target operating conditions.
• Rapid test reconfiguration with dual-wavelength to switch between 1310 nm and 1550 nm by remote control or manually without exchanging a module.
• Scalability with integration into industrystandard Agilent LMS platform extends your optical workbench capabilities.

APPLICATIONs
• Reference transmitter for stressed eye compliance test according to IEEE 802.3.
• Creation of arbitrary optical modulation signals in combination with waveform generators.
• General transmission system test with special pulse patterns in combination with a pattern generator.
