The Advantest Q7760 Optical Network Analyzer characterizes optical communication components through simultaneous measurement of polarization mode dispersion (PMD), chromatic dispersion, group delay, and amplitude characteristics. It delivers high-accuracy optical transfer function analysis (S11, S21) in the optical carrier frequency domain with MHz-level resolution, making it suitable for ultra-high-speed and DWDM component testing.
