Agilent 83485A with option 034 or 012,034

Agilent 83485A with option 034 or 012,034,”This dual-channel optical/electrical module is built for the Agilent 86100 series DCA mainframes and supports up to 20 GHz optical bandwidth and 40 GHz electrical bandwidth. With options 034 or 012,034, it provides high-speed waveform analysis for data rates up to 10 Gb/s and is optimized for SONET/SDH and Ethernet signal integrity measurements. Option 034 adds clock recovery and enhanced filtering features for precise jitter and mask testing. Engineers use this module for simultaneous optical and electrical testing, making it highly versatile in R&D and production applications. The module supports single-mode fiber input and uses SC/PC connectors for robust optical alignment. The fast rise time and low jitter characteristics ensure accurate eye diagram analysis and waveform fidelity. It allows real-time visualizations, mask margin evaluations, and parameter extraction using the DCA’s powerful software interface. Ideal for characterizing transmitters, receivers, and electro-optic components, this module plays a key role in verifying system compliance and performance. Automated test scripting via SCPI commands enhances workflow efficiency. Its calibrated performance and stability over temperature make it a reliable component for long-term testing. The module remains a standard in high-speed optical waveform verification environments for digital communication systems.”
