The BitAlyzer Bit Error Rate Testers BA Series are the industry's best solution to the challenging signal integrity and BER issues faced by designers verifying, characterizing, debugging, and testing sophisticated electronic and satellite communication system designs.
The Tektronix BitAlyzer Bit Error Ratio Analyzers support serial data interfaces from 100 MHz to 1.5 GHz (BA1500) and 1.6 GHz (BA1600).
The BitAlyzer Analyzer combines a test pattern generator and error detector with advanced physical layer tests in one system.
The Generator produces a controlled data stream. When a clock is provided (either the internal clock synthesized by the BitAlyzer or an external clock), data bits of a user-selected data type will be generated. The data pattern can be one of the predefined pseudo-random bit sequences (PRBS) installed in the Generator memory or a user-created pattern.
The Error Detector compares the incoming data with a copy of the original. Every bit error is tracked with an accuracy 1,000 times deeper than a sampling oscilloscope. The location of errors can be correlated with the eye diagram, pattern sensitivity, error-free interval, block errors, and other analysis methods. The error detection data can be stored for later analysis
