multi-functions with M8070A system software for M8000 Series BER test solutions
92 GSa/s sample rate supporting signals up to 64 GBaud on 4 channels in a 1-slot AXIe module simultaneously

Key Applications
200G, 400G and 1 terabit applications demand a new class of generator that simultaneously provides high speed, precision, and flexibility.

Optical communications (LR4, CFP2-ACO, Coherent, etc.) — 4 synchronized channels allow deterministic emulation and pre-distortion of 2 independent I/Q baseband signals up to 64 GBaud
Receiver stress test — particularly for multi-level, multi-channel interfaces (NRZ, PAM4, PAM8, DMT, etc.) up to 64 GBaud
Quantum physics and advanced research — generate any mathematically-defined arbitrary waveforms, ultra-short yet precise pulses, and extremely wideband chirps
Random interference (RI) and sinusoidal interference (SI) — works with M8020A and M8040A modules. Operate with M8070A BER System control software.
