Keysight 86105C Electrical Sampling Module
The Keysight 86105C is a dual-channel plug-in module designed specifically for use in conjunction with the Keysight 86100C Infiniium DCA-J digital communications analyzer. This device was developed to provide optical and electrical measurement capabilities for characterizing waveforms up to speeds of 11.3 Gb/s. The 86105C consists of two channels: a 9GHz-amplified optical channel that provides optical eye diagram and jitter decomposition capability, along with a 20GHz electrical channel that provides TDR capability. The electrical channel has a 3.5mm-male input allowing users to perform both optical and electrical measurements on their signals, utilizing a single test platform. The 86105C supports single-mode and multimode fiber (750-1650 nm) and therefore allows users to measure and characterize the full range of Datacom and Telecom standards such as SONET/SDH, 10 GbE, and Fiber Channel.
The optical channel of the 86105C module has an unfiltered bandwidth of eight-point-five GHz (nine GHz nominal) with a 56-ps transition time and is calibrated at wavelengths of eight-fifty, thirteen-one-zero, and fifteen-fifty nanometers. Depending upon the wavelength and the data transfer rate, sensitivity ranges from minus twenty-one dBm to minus sixteen dBm. RMS noise is less than one microwatt RMS on single-mode fiber, allowing for accurate measurements of extinction ratios and optical modulation amplitudes. A built-in average power monitor also permits direct calibration of measured optical power levels ranging from negative thirty decibels mWatt to zero decibels mWatt without the use of external couplers. Measured average power levels are reported with an accuracy of plus-minus five percent plus-minus two hundred nanowatts when measuring single-mode fiber.
The 20 GHz electrical channel of the 86105C module extends the application space of this module beyond just the measurement of high-speed optical signals into the realm of electrical signal measurements where users may wish to analyze such parameters as jitter and TDR (time domain reflectometry). The use of the twenty GHz electrical channel further enables users to utilize PatternLock triggering functions contained within the 86100C. Three different filter options have been made available for use with the 86105C. Options one hundred and two hundred include four low-data-rate filters and multiple 9-Gbit/sec reference receivers, respectively. Option Three Hundred represents the combination of both Option One Hundred and Option Two Hundred. All of these filters are switched automatically, remain calibrated after switching, and enable one-button transmitter compliance testing with standard industry masks and margin analysis.
