The Anritsu MS65A is an error detector engineered for research and development of high-speed logical circuits, PCM devices, and transmission systems. Operating across a clock frequency range of 50 MHz to 2000 MHz, it delivers precise bit-error measurement and pattern validation essential for complex digital signal characterization. The instrument supports pseudo-random pattern measurements at 32,767 bit lengths and programmable patterns at 8, 12, and 24 bit lengths, providing flexible test coverage across multiple protocol and data stream configurations. Designed as a critical component within a dedicated measurement ecosystem, the MS65A pairs with the Anritsu MG642A Pulse Pattern Generator to establish a complete high-speed pattern generation and error detection platform.
