Anritsu MP1763C Pulse Pattern Generator

Overview

The Anritsu MP1763C is a pulse pattern generator designed for high-speed bit error rate testing up to 12.5G. It works in combination with the MP1764C Error Detector to provide a complete BER testing system. The device offers high-quality waveform generation with wide frequency coverage and low jitter performance, making it ideal for research and development of high-speed logic, integrated circuits, and digital communication systems.

Key Features
