SHF is introducing a redesigned NRZ and PAM4 error detector. The SHF 11106 A is replacing the long-standing and widely used SHF 11104 A. While maintaining all established and valued features of its predecessor, the new instrument adds several significant enhancements.
Thanks to its compact form factor, the SHF 11106 A can be positioned directly at the DUT
Enhanced Features
- PAM4 BER measurements from 12 to 128 Gbps per channel, without external PAM-Sampler hardware
- Total aggregate throughput of 512 Gbps (4 channels at 64 GBaud PAM4)
- Reduced footprint and weight, eliminating the need for an external mainframe
- New software interface: The SHF BCC has been replaced by the SHF SCC
- New “Eye Scan” functionality (see screen shot below)
- Designed for seamless compatibility with the SHF 12106 A Bit Pattern Generator
Retained Features
- High receiver sensitivity
- Flexible channel configuration (1 to 4 channels)
- NRZ BER measurements from 6 to 64 Gbps per channel (up to 128 Gbps with an external DEMUX)
- Q-factor estimation and jitter analysis for NRZ signals
- Eye contour analysis for PAM4 and NRZ signals
