The Tektronix CSA8200 Communications Signal Analyzer Mainframe is a comprehensive acquisition and measurement instrument for research, design evaluation and manufacturing test in the fields of datacom and telecom components, transceiver subassemblies, and transmission systems, computer and storage-based high speed electrical serial data, semiconductor test, TDR-based impedance characterization and other applications requiring bandwidths into tens of GHz. It provides a communications-tailored measurement set that includes jitter, noise, duty cycle, overshoot, undershoot, OMA, extinction ratio, Q-factor, mean optical power, and amplitude measurements for both RZ and NRZ signals. Compliance-based mask testing of high speed optical and electrical communications, and computer standards such as SDH/SONET, Ethernet, Fibre Channel is included. Color-grading and gray-scale grading of waveform data adds a third dimension, sample density, to signal acquisition and analyses. The CSA8200 supports a large and growing family of electrical and optical plug-in modules. With its differential clock recovery module, the instrument can be used for acquisition of differential electrical signals even when there is no trigger available. Electrical modules are available with bandwidths up to 70 GHz. Differential and single-ended passive hand probes are available with bandwidths up to 18 GHz. A differential electrical clock recovery module covering most popular data rates between 50 Mb/s and 12.6 Gb/s is also available. Optical modules provide complete optical test solutions for both telecom (SONET/SDH) and Datacom (Ethernet, and Fibre Channel) applications with data rates from 155 Mb/s to 43 Gb/s. Integrated clock recovery is also available on most optical modules.
