The Anritsu MP1758A is a high-performance 4-channel Pulse Pattern Generator designed for testing high-speed digital systems, optical transceivers, and multi-channel communication interfaces. Capable of generating pattern rates up to 12.5 Gb/s per channel, it offers programmable patterns up to 128 Kbit and seven pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) patterns with independent channel control for amplitude, offset, and clock-to-data delay.
