PLTS N19307B extends the N19301B base product to perform N-port (greater than 4 ports) measurements and analysis.
The new Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) 2022 is the industry standard for signal integrity measurements and data post-processing of high-speed interconnects, such as cables, backplanes, PCBs, and connectors. Many signal integrity laboratories around the world have benefited from the power of PLTS in the R and D prototype test phase. PLTS 2022 has now migrated to a powerful 64-bit application unleashing high port count s-parameter measurements.
Today’s 400G internet infrastructure demands multi-port channel analysis to mitigate crosstalk issues that can cause bit errors and the new 64-bit PLTS application enables deeper memory for those large data files of 16-port and 32-port s-parameter measurements.
