Keysight N4372E Lightwave Component Analyzer - 100/110 GHz - Single Mode
- Operating frequency range: 10 MHz to 110 GHz
- Operating wavelength range: 1260 nm to 1620 nm
- Rel. frequency response uncertainty (50 GHz): ±0.7 dB (TX test); ±0.8 dB (RX test)
- Rel. frequency response uncertainty (100 GHz): ±1.6 dB (TX test); ±1.9 dB (RX test)
- Min. measurable frequency response (50 GHz): -60 dB(A/W) (RX test); -64 dB(W/A) (TX test)
- Min. measurable frequency response (100 GHz): -50 dB(A/W) (RX test); -59 dB(W/A) (TX test)
Based on the N5290A and N5291A 900 Hz to 110/120 GHz PNA Millimeter-Wave Systems, the new N4372E Lightwave Component Analyzer offers unpreceded bandwidth for both, optical receiver testing and optical transmitter testing.
TX/RX manufacturers are approaching higher baud rates in RZ/NRZ and PAM formats, which pushes the envelope on high-bandwidth S-parameter testing. Up to now, the industry had only access to testing optical transmitters to 110 GHz bandwidth. The new N4372E not only addresses opto-electronic tests up to 110 GHz in an extended wavelength range down to 1260 nm but offers also RX test up to 110 GHz in the full 1260 nm to 1620 nm range.
The LCA’s built-in optical power meter allows to check and control the user-selectable operating power, but also gives an indication of a bent fiber or a bad connection. The LCA optical transmitter’s input port, which is normally connected to the built-in laser source of the LCA controller, can be connected to an auxiliary tunable laser to enable the verification of S-parameters over wavelength.
