The Anritsu MU183041A is a 4-channel Error Detector module engineered for high-speed optical communication testing at 28 Gbit/s to 32.1 Gbit/s bit rates. Designed as a plug-in module for the MP1800A Signal Quality Analyzer and MT1810A 4 Slot Chassis, it delivers precise error detection and signal integrity analysis across multiple channels simultaneously. The module supports NRZ format with configurable single-ended and differential amplitude settings, enabling comprehensive characterization of high-speed digital transmission paths. Independent or tracking modes for Data and XData settings provide flexibility in test configuration, while high-sensitivity error detection capability supports direct signal input for enhanced measurement accuracy. Threshold voltage adjustment and selectable output levels from 0.25 Vp-p to 2.0 Vp-p accommodate a wide range of device under test specifications.
