Agilent N4392A optical modulation analyser

The portable, and fully integrated, optical modulation analyser with a laptop sized screen is for users who need to analyse complex modulated optical signals during development and manufacturing of 40/100G coherent transmitters and receivers.

The N4392A enables engineers to characterise components like in-phase quadrature modulators and integrated coherent receivers designed according to industry standards for 100G coherent transmission.

The integrated design accelerates setup and eliminates configuration effort so that users can focus on design.

A 15″ analysis screen shows the information.

The analyser offers four differential RF input channels to help engineers characterise integrated coherent optical receivers. This makes it suitable for R&D engineers involved in 40/100G characterisation and debugging.

All modulation analysers provide a defined interface to customer-developed MATLAB algorithms. This enables consistent results from early research to final manufacturing qualification, including the exchange of configuration files.

Features of the instrument include: full support of 32 Gbaud modulation formats; 63 GSa/s real-time sampling; and optical and differential RF inputs in one instrument.
