Optical reference transmitter and receiver stress test solution
Optical Receiver Stress Test
The calibrated optical receiver stress test solution provides accurate signal stress for receiver tolerance and compliance testing. It is available for the popular standards of 10 Gb Ethernet IEEE 802.3ae for -LR and -ER, and for 10 G Fibre Channel. The parameters of ER, OMA, SI and PJ are calibrated and can be dialed so VECP and total jitter are be precisely set.
Figure 1: Optical receiver stress test setup
The stress signal is generated from the J-BERT N4903A with help of the N4917A-E01 Receiver Stress Conditioning Unit. The output of the N4917AE01 drives the 81490A Optical Reference Transmitter, which connects to the 81576A Optical Attenuator. The output of the Optical Attenuator connects to the Device under Test (DUT). The DUT electrical output connects to the J-BERT N4903A Error Detector input. This closes the loop for BER measurement, which is the base for the highest level measurements of receiver sensitivity or jitter tolerance. If the DUT output is available only as optical signal, the conversion of the optical signal for electrical BER measurement can be performed with the help of the 81495A reference receiver, which can be added to the setup, but is not mandatory.

User Interface
The N4917A software runs on the J-BERT N4903A (with option J12), or a PC with Windows XP(R). It controls the instrument setup over a USB to GPIB interface.
Figure 2: Parameter Entry for ER, OMA, PJ and SI. For the defined standards the values for AO, VECP and total jitter will be displayed.
The user interface operates the instruments interactively, runs the compliance test automating various measurements (such as jitter tolerance) and controls the instrument's setup and calibration. Interactive operation lets the user vary the optical parameters using dials. The automated measurements provide the generation of a report file.

Definitions
Optical receiver stress is defined by a compliance eye and a jitter tolerance curve (the standard calls it "mask")

Specification assumption
The specifications in this document describe the solution's warranted performance. Non-warranted values are described as typical. More specifications are available in the data sheets of the individual instruments (N4903A, 81490A, 81576A). All specifications are valid after a warm-up phase as specified for the individual instruments. If not otherwise stated, all electrical inputs and outputs need to be terminated with 50 Ohm to ground. All specifications, if not otherwise stated, are using the recommended N4917A accessories. For the verification of the specifications a 86100C DCAj with either 86105B or 86105C optical module is recommended. A PRBS pattern of 2^11-1 is recommended if not otherwise stated. For the measurement of ER the use of the Extinction Ratio Correction Factor is recommended [1]. For the measurement of OMA a pattern of ..1100.. is recommended. For the measurement of RJ the use of the 86107A Precision Timebase Module is recommended, which is not mandatory for the N4917A setup.

Optimization, Adjustments and DUT Configuration
The setup to run the N4917A software with the necessary accessories is described in figure 14. The N4917A automation and calibration software provides adjustable parameters for ER, OMA, SI and PJ. At the standard compliance settings it displays the values for A0, VECP and the total jitter (TJ) according to the definition of IEEE802.3ae 2002 with help of an extrapolation from measured point gathered during a calibration process. The software performs a cabling check, including an optimization for the phase matching of the differential data connection between N4903A data out and N4917A-E01 data in. This optimization is recommended the first time after setup, or whenever the cabling was removed. Beside the base points for the above parameters, it optimizes the operating point of the 81490A reference transmitter and it optimizes the crossing point of the optical signal for a minimum amount of duty cycle distortion (DCD). The gathered information is stored in a file with reference to date and standard, which can be loaded any time later, multiple files can be generated, per default the latest is in use. Beside the optimization and the adjustments, the software stores in the second step the setup of the DUT.
