Bit Error Radio Tester

Descriptions

The Compound Semiconductor Application (CSA) Catapult is aiming to provide a high-speed test capability to cope with continuous growth with data traffic caused by many developed high-speed devices in optical communications. The CSA Catapult is looking to obtain a system solution to allow efficient, reliable, and accurate measurements for chip-to-chip, chip-to-module, device, transceiver modules, and subsystems with data rate up to 128 Gbit/s. The system shall be used for efficient test, characterisation, and compliance to the industry emerging standards, such as: IEEE 802.3bs/3bj/3cd for 400, 200, 100, and 50 Gigabit Ethernet, OIF CEI -56G (NRZ and PAM4), 25G PON, PCI Express 32/16/8/5 GT/s, and 64G/112G fibre channel.This test and measurement equipment will be used for R&D during the Catapult’s collaborative and internal projects whilst also providing potential commercial opportunities in compliance and pre-qualification testing against a range of standards for high speed communica
