Keysight’s 400G Transceiver supports PAM-4 and NRZ signals, and covers all kinds of 200 and 400 GbE standards.
The changing landscape of transceiver testing has seen the rise of PAM-4 signals over NRZ, which allows for 400G Ethernet speeds as opposed to just 100G. While the shift to PAM-4 modulation format comes with improved performance, it also comes with its own set of challenges.
Ensuring that your transceiver is performing correctly means regular and diligent testing, and this is where the challenges typically arise. The new format comes with new speeds of 53Gbaud, a new metric in TDECQ and extremely noisy signals among other things.
This video is an exhaustive guide on the hurdles you will face when adapting to testing for energy optical transceivers while moving from energy to pam-4, and how you can successfully overcome difficulties using Keysight testing solutions.
If you are looking for answers in terms of transitioning from NRZ to PAM-4 and the higher grade performance that comes with this upgrade, this video will be the perfect guide for challenges you may potentially face and how to fix them.
