The N1094B is a DCA-M Sampling Oscilloscope with four channels and a 250 kHz sampling rate.
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. 86100 digital communication analyzer (DCA) family
is recognized as the industry standard for verifying optical transmitter compliance to
communications standards. For years engineers have trusted the DCA to provide accurate and
easy measurement of digital communication waveforms. The Keysight N109X DCA-M family has
built on that legacy by using the high-performance elements of both the 86100 oscilloscope
mainframe acquisition system and the optical and electrical channel hardware of the 861XX
plug-in modules. The N1090A supports 1 to 10 Gb/s measurements, while the N1092 is for
use from 20 Gb/s through 53 GBaud. (Data rate ranges of the N1092 can be extended using
Options PLK and IRC.)
Unlike the 86100, which uses modules to create a waveform analysis system, the N109X are
completely integrated instruments built in a small form factor. Low-noise, high-sensitivity
calibrated reference receivers ? compliant to industry standard tolerances ? are available for
both multimode and single-mode signals at wavelengths from 750 to 1630 nm. N1090A noise is
as low as 1 ?W, while N1092 noise is as low as 4 ?W, creating a measurement system with very
high dynamic range. The sensitivity of the N1092 is significantly better than the comparable
86100 system making it an excellent solution for PAM-4 waveform analysis. Electrical channels
are available with 20 GHz (N1090A), 30 GHz, and 50 GHz bandwidths (N1092/4).
