The Anritsu MP1764A is a high-performance 12.5 Gb/s Error Detector (ED) designed for Bit Error Rate (BER) testing of high-speed digital communications systems, optical transmission equipment, and semiconductors. Operating across a broad frequency range of 50 MHz to 12.5 GHz, it works in tandem with the MP1763A Pulse Pattern Generator to provide comprehensive testing capabilities for R&D and manufacturing environments. This instrument features a highly legible Fluorescent Indicator Panel, standard GPIB interfacing, and robust pattern-detection capabilities for PRBS and programmable word patterns.
