Agilent Technologies N4900 Series
Agilent offers a wide range of serial bit error ratio test (BERT)
solutions for R&D and manufacturing. The J-BERT N4903B high-
performance serial BERT is the flagship of Agilent’s N4900 serial
BERT series. It addresses the needs of R&D and validation teams
who characterize serial I/O ports or ASICs up to 14.2 Gb/s.
Integrated and calibrated jitter sources for jitter tolerance measure-
ments also allow designers to characterize and prove compliance
of their receiver’s jitter tolerance.
The B version of the J-BERT has been improved to address the test
needs during characterization and compliance test of emerging
forwarded clock and embedded clock devices in the most complete
and integrated way.
Agilent’s N4900 serial BERT series offers key
benefi ts:
• Excellent precision and sensitivity for accurate measurements
• Choice of feature set and frequency classes to tailor to test needs
and budget
• State-of-the-art user interfaces with color touch screen
• Remote control via LAN, USB and GPIB interfaces, compatible
with existing command set Agilent 71612, 81630A Series, N4900
Series
• Small form factor saves rack or bench space
