Keysight N4376E Lightwave Component Analyzer, Multimode
Key Features and Specifications
This new multimode Lightwave Component Analyzer enables the test of all relevant electro-optical S-parameters, like S21, S11 or S22 under multimode conditions
Absolute frequency response accuracy
- ±2.0 dBe at 20 GHz
Relative frequency response accuracy
- ±1.5 dBe at 20 GHz
- ±1.0 dBe at 20GHz (typical)
Noise floor
- < -69 dB (W/A) for E/O measurements at 20 GHz
- < -68 dB (A/W) for O/E measurements at 20 GHz
Optical wavelength
- (850 ± 10) nm
- For other wavelengths or for higher bandwidths at 850 nm please contact your Keysight Representative
The new N4376E Multimode LCA is based on the latest N5222B series network analyzers with 2-port or 4-port configuration. This LCA is the ideal measurement solution for electro-optical components for 10 Gbit/s, 40 Gbit/s and 100 Gbit/s transmission systems, as well as Radio over Fiber (RoF) and aerospace and defense (A&D) electro-optical test applications.
The N4376E is traceable to international standards and provides guaranteed specifications for electro-optical S-parameter measurements in a turn-key solution. A highly automated user calibration routine based on the N4691D electronic calibration kit accelerates the measurement preparation and removes the need for an optical user calibration. The instrument guides the user through the calibration and measurement setup to increase productivity.
Additional Benefits
- IEEE 802.3ae compatible launched power distribution ensures application realistic test results
- Support for 50 µm fiber and 62.5 µm fiber components
- Built-in average power meter for fast transmitter power verification and indication of breaks, bends and bad connections
- User-selectable transmitter output power helps adapting to target test conditions
- Programming interface based on .NET or COM and SCPI
- Contact your Keysight representative about special options for testing 850 nm devices above 26.5 GHz bandwidth
