The Agilent/HP 83495A Clock Recovery Module is a high-performance instrument for precise clock extraction from optical and electrical high-speed digital signals. It integrates dual-path clock recovery capabilities and mounts directly into Agilent 86100-series Infiniium Digital Communications Analyzer mainframes. The module enables stable timing recovery for jitter analysis, eye diagram measurements, and compliance testing across 9.953 Gb/s to 11.32 Gb/s data rates, including 10 Gb Ethernet with FEC standards.
