SHF 12105 A Bit Pattern Generator

Published: Sep. 6, 2016

New 64 Gbps BPG with up to 8 channels (i.e. > 512 Gbps total capacity)

The SHF 12105 A is the latest addition to the SHF family of high performance, feature-rich Bit Pattern Generators (BPGs). This 8-channel 64 Gbps bench-top BPG maintains all the unique features of the well known SHF 12104 A, plus additional improvements to enable ease of interface to our DACs for high baud rate arbitrary waveform generation, and to the multiplexer for high speed serial data generation in excess of 128 Gbps.

2.85 GSa/s arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) & 10 Gbps bit pattern generator (BPG)

The cost effective SHF 19120 A provides a variety of AWG and BPG outputs in a very compact and light weight chassis.

SHF S804 A Amplifier

We added bandwidth and linearity to the well known SHF 804’s.

For many years, the SHF 804TL and the SHF 804EA have been SHF’s workhorse when it comes to very high bandwidth in combination with more than 20 dB of gain. Now, new packaging techniques have enabled us to make further improvements. The result is the new SHF S804 A.

SHF 78121 A Clock Distribution

Published: May. 12, 2016

In setups with digital high speed modules and instruments, the clock distribution is always challenging as some parts require a full-clock, others a half-clock, and some even a lower fraction clock signal. Our latest release, the SHF 78121 A is designed to facilitate such a complex test set ups requiring a range of clock signals.

SHF D836 A Differential to Single-Ended Linear RF Amplifier

Published: Mar. 17, 2016

Differential signals from a high performance DAC, typically needed to be differentially-loaded in order to preserve the linearity and resolution from the impact of commom-mode spurious.  In addition, state-of-the-art DP-QPSK modulators for 16QAM applications are driven single-ended and require linear drive voltage of up to 4 V.  The newly released SHF D836 A differential input, single-ended output linear driver amplifier makes a perfect interface between a high performance DAC and a PM QPSK modulator for 16QAM.

SHF 46121 A Optical Transmitter

Published: Feb. 29, 2016

Our family of compact low cost instruments has been extended to include the SHF 46121 A C-band only optical transmitter. Compared to the earlier release SHF 46120 A, the new module supports higher speeds up to 50 Gbps in ASK and 32 GBaud PAM4 mode. This is realised by utilizing a different modulator which only works in C-band.

PAM-4 BER Analysis up to 32 GBaud

SHF has further improved the SHF 11104 A error analyzer (EA)

PAM-4 is getting more and more popular as it transmits twice the information at the same Baud-rate as traditional NRZ. New data- and telecommunication standards such as 400 GbE are already utilizing this approach.

High Voltage Option for Bit Pattern Generator

Published: Dec. 15, 2015

64 Gbps with 2 V directly from the SHF 12104 A BPG

For more than 30 years SHF has provided the highest bandwidth amplifiers and the fastest bit error test systems. Now these two unique capabilities are brought together and we are proud to announce the high voltage (HV) option for the 60 and 64 Gbps data outputs of our SHF 12104 A Bit Pattern Generator (BPG).

SHF M827 A Amplifier

Published: Sep. 24, 2015

New features while keeping the excellent performance of its predecessor SHF 827

The SHF 827 amplifier has been the best choice for applications demanding the highest bandwidth and phase linearity such as 100 Gbps binary and 56G PAM4.  Due to this huge success, SHF has further refined this amplifier such that it enjoys the same ease of use as all other SHF amplifiers, whilst keeping its excellent RF performance.
