A signal integrity solution from Anritsu will be part of a live demonstration on transmitting and receiving PAM4 signals across a commercially available connector. As part of the technology demonstration, the MP1800A and MZ1834A will generate signals that will be sent through a CEI-56G-VSR-PAM QSFP Compliance Board.

The MZ1834A 4PAM converter with the MP1800A BERT is an integrated solution that can generate high-quality PAM4 signals. The built-in Pulse Pattern Generators (PPGs) of the MP1800A produce clean NRZ waveforms with low jitter, low waveform distortion, and sharp rise and fall times. The waveforms are transmitted through the MZ1834A wideband passive 4PAM converter to generate high-quality PAM signals with assured signal to the noise ratio (SNR).

As an OIF member, Anritsu will unite with other member companies under the banner of the OIF to showcase multi-vendor participation in the OIF Technology Showcase 2015 (OFC booth #613). Anritsu and other companies are committed to furthering the work of the OIF to enable users to achieve new heights in CEI data rates.
