To keep up with fast-changing technology cycles, test equipment needs to address today’s measurement challenges and those in the future. Keysight demonstrates a test solution mimicking the function of a coherent transceiver, where signals are generated with flexible modulation formats for this speed class using the M8199A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG). Signal analysis is performed using the N4391B optical modulation analyzer (OMA), which is based on our flexible UXR-series oscilloscope family with upgradeable bandwidth up to 110 GHz.  This solution enables full transceiver analysis at the new speed class to verify and improve performance.
