Arbitrary wave generator capable of 256 GS/ S and 80 GHz BW

High precision and extreme performance focused test equipment maker Keysight has launched its new signal generator M8199B arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) generating arbitrary wave signals in multi-level modulation formats such as 64QAM at speeds exceeding 160 Gbaud. The new M8199B produces arbitary wave-signals up to sampling rate of 256 Gsa/s and analog bandwidth exceeding 80 GHz, including up to eight synchronized channels operating simultaneously. This system is a good choice to design high-speed optical networking system with speeds of 400 Gb/s per lane in intensity modulation/direct detect (IM/DD) and communications speeds exceeding 1.6 Tb/s per carrier in coherent optical communications. "Today's applications and services generate vast amounts of artificial intelligence workloads in the data center. New electrical and optical designs are required to handle these workloads within reasonable bounds of energy consumption," said Dr. Joachim Peerlings, vice president and general manager of Keysight's Network and Data Center business. "We are pleased with Keysight's continuous efforts to deliver first-to-market solutions that support our customers to connect and sustain our planet and take the next step in the race for higher data transmission rates." In optical communications domain, the M8199B supports multi-level PAM, quadrature-amplitude modulation QAM fo...
