New Bite Error Rate Tester

8 August 2007

Abstract

Bit error rate testing lies at the heart of fibre optic transmission systems. Individual components and complete end to end links need to be characterised to ensure specifications for data errors are met. BBN International announces a new modular bit error rate tester from Luceo Technologies which is both high performance and value for money.

Press Release

Initially, the X-BERT has been created to measure the bit error rate (BER) of a complete transceiver module or just the transmitters like lasers or receivers operating at data rates between 9.9 and 11.1Gbps with an option to go down to 8Gbps.

There are separate slots for the optical and electrical BER testers. Each slot provides a transmit and receive port. An internal pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) generator and error detector computes the BER.

The externally referenced clock can be in the 10GHz range or 622MHz so that the operating data rate can match the applicable standards such as Sonet, Ethernet, Fiber Channel, FEC etc.

A fixed frequency internal clock can also be used which provides a correlated 10GHz clock on the front panel.
