N8827A/B PAM Analysis Features

Comprehensive analysis of Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM-4)

signals

– Supports 4-level or PAM-4 signaling analysis

– Eye width, eye height, eye skew

– Level amplitude, level noise, level skew

– Linearity measurements and more

– Transition qualified clock recovery

– Bit error ratio (BER) and symbol error ratio (SER) measurements

– BER/SER per acquisition measurements to help identify burst errors

– Unfolding of PAM-4 eye to show waveform location of BER/SER errors found

Flexible, economical

– PAM measurements are supported by all V-Series, Z-Series, 90000A Series, 90000

X-Series, and S-Series oscilloscopes

– PAM features are integrated directly into the Infiniium user interface (not a separate

application)

– Offline analysis available on a PC using N8900A Infiniium Offline oscilloscope

analysis software plus the N8827A/B PAM analysis software

Powerful advanced analysis features

– PAM-4 equalizers are available (CTLE, FFE/LFE) using the N5461A Infiniium Serial

Data Equalization software

– Embedding / de-embedding of channels using N5465A InfiniiSim Waveform

Transformation Toolset for Infiniium Oscilloscopes

– Jitter and amplitude analysis on IEEE JP03 patterns using the N5400A EZJIT Plus
