Agilent / Keysight N1092A DCA-M Sampling Oscilloscope (Single Optical Channel)

The Keysight N1092A DCA-M is a single-channel optical sampling oscilloscope designed for high-speed optical signal analysis. It offers accurate and reliable measurements for characterizing optical transceivers and components in communication systems. This instrument leverages the high-performance acquisition system of the N1000 and 86100 oscilloscope mainframes, integrated with optical and electrical channel hardware from the 861XX and N104X plug-in modules. The N1092A DCA-M is a compact, fully integrated instrument ideal for both R&D and manufacturing environments.

### Technical Specifications

**General Performance**

* **Bandwidth:** Unfiltered bandwidth greater than 40 GHz (Option 40A).
* **Jitter:** Accurate high data-rate analysis with jitter less than 200 fs.
* **Sensitivity:** High sensitivity with noise less than 5 µW.
* **Sampling Rate:** Fast throughput with a high 250 kHz sample rate.
* **Data Rates:** Supports solutions for data rates from 8.4 to 64 Gbaud. The N1092A/B/C/D/E models are designed for use from 20 to 28 Gb/s, with ranges extendable via Options PLK and IRC.
* **Noise Floor:** Characteristic noise values are available for various optical channels. For example, with the 32G Fibre Channel reference receiver filter selected, typical noise levels are 9.5 µW at 850 nm and 6 µW at 1310/1550 nm.

**Optical Channel Characteristics**

* **Wavelength Range:** 830 nm to 1600 nm. Factory-calibrated wavelengths include 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm (± 20 nm).
* **Reference Receiver Filter Options:** The N1092A includes filters for testing data rates such as 25.78 Gb/s (25/50/100 Gb Ethernet), 26.56 Gb/s (400 Gb Ethernet), 27.95 Gb/s (OTU4), and 28.05 Gb/s (32x Fibre Channel). Specific filter options like N1092-168 for 100GBASE-SR4 TDEC (12.4 GHz) and N1092-206 for 20.6 Gb/s are available.
* **Maximum Optical Channel Bandwidth:** The maximum optical channel –3 dBo bandwidth is 28 GHz, achievable using the 32xFC filter setting.
* **Sensitivity:** Sensitivity 1 (smallest average power for mask test) is -10 dBm at 1310/1550 nm for OTU4 and 32G Fibre Channel rates. For 850 nm, it is -11.5 dBm for 20.6 Gb/s and -10 dBm for OTU4 and 32G Fibre Channel.

**Integrated Features**

* **Clock Recovery:** Integrated clock recovery is available with Option CDR.
