Anritsu Corporation has developed and launched sales of its new 60 GHz optical sampling oscilloscope MP2110A-080 option for the BERTWave MP2110A. This option verifies the performance of 200G/Lane optical transceivers forming the foundation of faster data-center communications and growing AI deployment. It delivers high PAM4 TDECQ evaluation accuracy and measurement productivity for next-generation high-speed optical transceivers, such as 1.6T and 800G, supporting strong quality assurance of large-capacity, high-speed communications infrastructure.
This test solution was exhibited as a reference at the China International Optoelectronic Exposition (CIOE 2025) on September 10, 2025, and will also be showcased at the European Conference on Optical Communication (ECOC 2025), one of the world’s leading international conferences in the field of optical communications, to be held in Copenhagen, Denmark, from September 29 to October 1, 2025.
Development Background
With the growth of AI data centers, optical communication speeds are increasing from 800G to 1.6T, and transmission rates are shifting from 50 Gbaud (100G/Lane) to 100 Gbaud (200G/Lane). As transmission speeds increase, there is a growing need for wideband sampling oscilloscopes capable of evaluating higher frequency components in optical transceiver signals.
Product Features
The all-in-one MP2110A solution integrates the necessary functions for physical-layer evaluation of optical transceivers during development and manufacturing. This new 60 GHz oscilloscope MP2110A-080 option enables evaluation and analysis of next-generation high-speed 200G/Lane communication standards.
- High-Accuracy PAM4 TDECQ Measurement: With the performance of a reference receiver supporting PAM4 signals up to 120 Gbaud, the MP2110A offers reliable TDECQ evaluations by leveraging the high measurement accuracy of existing models.
- Improved Efficiency with Simultaneous 4-Channel Measurement: By measuring four optical signals simultaneously, the MP2110A cuts measurement time and improves operation efficiency. Batch evaluation of multiple channels simplifies measurement systems and processes to enhance productivity.
- Further Productivity Gains with Faster Measurement: Increasing the MP2110A sampling speed fourfold compared to previous models shortens measurement times even further. Stable operation with a built-in PC improves R&D and manufacturing efficiency.
- Cost-Effective 4-Channel Software Upgrade Option: With a software upgrade path to 4-channels, the 2-channel option lowers initial costs, allowing flexible deployment supporting future expansion matching budget and evaluation environment.
