PPG1600, PPG3000, & PPG3200 Pattern Generator User Manual
The Tektronix PatternPro line of high-performance pattern generators offer single
and multi-channel configurations capable of data rates up to 32 Gb/s. With
optional jitter insertion, the PPG line offers a flexible, cost effective and easy to
use test solution supporting high speed applications such as 100 Gigabit Ethernet,
32G Fibre channel, PAM4, DP-QPSK testing, and a broad range of receiver
test applications. The single unit multi-channel configurations provide aligned,
pattern-independent data outputs that support testing of crosstalk immunity and
multi-channel functionality. The PPG line can be paired with the Tektronix PED
line of Error Detector products to provide a complete BER test capability.
The data rate can be programmed over a broad range of values. The output may
be either built-in PRBS patterns or programmed user data patterns.
The PPG pattern generators series provide the following features:
1.5 Gb/s to 16 Gb/s operation (PPG1600 series)
1.5 Gb/s to 30 Gb/s operation (PPG3000 series)
1.5 Gb/s to 32 Gb/s operation (PPG3200 series)
