N4917DJCA 1.6T Optical Receiver Test Application
This datasheet describes the Keysight N4917DJCA application for automated optical receiver sensitivity and jitter-tolerance testing of 800 Gb/s and 1.6 Tb/s Ethernet transceivers. The software coordinates a BERT, arbitrary waveform generator, interference source, optical reference transmitter, tunable laser, attenuator, and sampling oscilloscope to generate and calibrate standards-compliant PAM4 stressed eyes. It supports selected 100G, 200G, 400G, 800G, and 1.6T interfaces under IEEE 802.3cu, 802.3db, 802.3cn, and 802.3dj. Automated control adjusts extinction ratio, optical modulation amplitude, SECQ or TDECQ, jitter, interference, and noise. Custom DUT control, scripting, unified setup, repeatable calibration, and compliance reporting reduce the time and complexity of high-speed optical
