– 1 bits ITU-T Recommendation O.150, Section 5.3. PRBS-15 is
often used for jitter measurement because it is the
longest pattern the Agilent DCA-J sampling scope can
handle.

23
– 1 bits ITU-T Recommendation O.150, Section 5.6. PRBS-23 is
often used for non-8B/10B encoding schemes. It is one
of the recommended test patterns in the SONET
specification.
PRBS-31 1 + x

31
– 1 bits ITU-T Recommendation O.150, Section 5.8. PRBS-31 is
often used for non-8B/10B encoding schemes. It is a
recommended PRBS test pattern for 10 Gigabit Ethernet.
See IEEE Std 802.3ae-2002.
IMPORTANT! For PAM4 modulaon, QPRBS paerns are supported by sending a convenonal PRBS
paern with PAM4 and Gray Coding based on the OIF2014.230 CEI-56G-VSR-PAM4 specicaon.
In addion to PRBS paerns, the GTM transceiver supports a 64 UI square wave test paern as
shown in the following gure, an alternang 1’b0 and 1’b1 (NRZ clock) test paern. Clocking
paerns are usually used to check PLL random jier oen done with a spectrum analyzer.
Note: For PAM4 modulaon, an alternang 1’b0 and 1’b1 test paern will not be a square wave due to
the amplitude modulaon mapping.

The error inseron funcon is also supported to verify link connecon for jier tolerance tests.
When an inverted PRBS paern is necessary, the CH[0/1]_TXPOLARITY signal is used to control
polarity.
