Keysight 81134A Pulse Pattern Generator

Key Features

• Frequency range from 15 MHz - 3.35 GHz
• Two ouput channels
• Low jitter
• Fast rise times (20%-80%) < 60 ps
• Delay modulation (jitter emulation)
• Variable cross-over point (eye deformation) LVDS applications can be addressed with output levels from 50 mV to 2 V Pre-/de-emphasis and squelch levels for PCI Express and serial ATA
• LVDS applications can be addressed with output levels from 50 mV to 2 V
• Pre-/de-emphasis and squelch levels for PCI Express and serial ATA

When timing and performance requirements are critical, for example in high-speed serial bus applications like PCI Express or Serial ATA, its fast rise times and low intrinsic jitter allow the precise and in-depth characterization of devices, e.g. receivers or backplanes. On top of that, it allows to generate application-specific signal levels like pre- and de-emphasis (PCI Express) or squelch (Serial ATA). The Keysight 81134A lets you test your DUT instead of the pulse or data source!

• Hardware-based PRBS
• Memory-based pattern generation
• Basic test patterns for Infiniband, PCI-Express and Serial ATA
• Deep 12 MBit pattern memory per channel supports tests that require long data streams like disk drive tests
• PC-based Pattern Management Tool, easier to handle long patterns: generate, modify and store patterns on a Microsoft Windows based PC and an easy-to-use function to quickly load the selected pattern to the 81134A via one of the remote control interfaces GPIB, LAN or USB
• Clock and data signals distortion
• Versatile variable cross-point
• Jitter insertion capabilities
• Frequency, level and shape of injected jitter variation emulate real-world signals, e.g. by connecting an arbitrary waveform generator like the Keysight 33220A to the Pulse Pattern Generators delay control input
• Graphics User Interface: quick access to all relevant parameters
• Controllable via the interfaces GPIB, LAN and USB 2.0
