M8050A Remote Heads
The M8050A remote heads are connected to M8050A modules, using
signal and control cables. They allow to generate and probe signals
directly at the DUT. The M8050A specifications are valid at the end of the
~150 mm cables of the remote heads. The M8042A pattern generator and
M8043A error analyzer require a remote head. This means operation
without their dedicated remote head is not possible.
Remote Heads for M8042A Pattern Generator
The M8058A/M8059A remote head includes an external amplifier that is
used in combination with the M8042A Pattern Generator. The 64 GBd
M8058A remote head is used to allow close connection to the device
under test for symbol rates up to 64 GBd. The 120 GBd M8059A remote
head is used to allow close connection to the device under test for symbol
rates up to 120 GBd.
The three cables on the back side of the remote head are used to connect
with each channel of M8042A Pattern Generator module.
