The Anritsu MU183040B is a high-sensitivity Error Detector (ED) module engineered for 28 Gbit/s and 32 Gbit/s signal analysis on the MP1800A Signal Quality Analyzer platform. Built for optical communications and high-speed digital interfaces requiring enhanced signal integrity, this module delivers receiver sensitivity and the fastest auto-adjust capability for threshold and phase optimization across multiple channels.
## Technical Specifications
• **Bit-Rate Range:** 2.4 Gbit/s to 28.1 Gbit/s (standard); 2.4 Gbit/s to 32.1 Gbit/s with Option-x01
• **Channel Configuration:** 1, 2, or 4-channel modes with simultaneous multichannel measurement support
• **Receiver Sensitivity:** 10 mV typical (single-ended, EYE Height)
• **Auto Adjust:** Simultaneous optimization of BER voltage threshold and phase for up to 8 channels in under 1 second
• **Clock Recovery:** Optional internal clock recovery module supports jitter tolerance testing for PHY devices with independent Tx/Rx clocks; required for Multi-Mode Fiber (MMF) measurements
• **Data Input:** Accepts low-amplitude signals with constricted eye openings; compensates for transmission media losses in PCB traces, copper cables, and Active Optical Cables
## Key Features
• BER measurements up to 32.1 Gbit/s with extrapolation capability for low bit error rates (1E-12, 1E-15)
• Processes degraded signals from backplanes, cables, and optical transmission media
• Synchronized multi-channel operation for crosstalk and skew tolerance evaluation
• Plug-in compatibility with MP1800A platform modules including PPG sources, jitter modulation sources, and emphasis filters
## Typical Applications
• 100 GbE backplanes and cable systems
• SERDES and CDR devices (CEI-25 G, CEI-28 G-VSR standards)
• Active Optical Cable (AOC) validation (InfiniBand EDR)
• Optical transceiver modules (CFP/CFP2/CFP4, QSFP+, 32 G Fibre Channel, OTU4)
• TOSA/ROSA and Silicon Photonics device characterization
• Modulator evaluation (EA, EML)
• Jitter tolerance testing
## Compatibility & Integration
Designed as a dedicated module for the MP1800A Signal Quality Analyzer platform with full interoperability across the Anritsu MP1800A ecosystem.
