Error Analyzer Meets Opportunities and Challenges

Now that science and technology are making such progress, the communications market is developing so rapidly that the error code analyzer has ushered in a good opportunity for the market, and the scale has continuously increased. This has enabled businesses to move toward this area.

The error analyzer mainly tests and analyzes the bit error rate in the communication system and has a simulation function. At present, the demand for 100G optical communication test in the global market is continuously increasing, which also puts new demands on the error code analyzer. The ability to perform signal transmission error rate verification becomes a new selling point.

At present, the latest transmission interface standards have standardized that the receiver must also detect the bit error rate to ensure the quality of communication transmission. The field of application of the error code analyzer is also expanding, extending from the chip R&D end to the device system end. With the development of optical fiber communications, error code analyzers have become a hot spot in the market as terminal communications equipment shipments continue to climb.

However, while welcoming opportunities, it also faces numerous challenges. In particular, as the communication transmission speed increases, the bit error rate of the terminal device increases and the signal jitter increases, which affects the transmission quality. This requires a new BER analyzer that can maintain a stable jitter of the output of the test object, and increase the detection rate to meet the needs of the era of optical communications. In addition, the increase in communication transmission speed, or crosstalk becomes the main source of jitter-related signal noise, so the error code analyzer must have an accurate verification of the error rate, and should further understand the error location and potential design issues. Therefore, there is a need for a reasonable solution to the error code analyzer.
