The Tektronix PatternPro PPG1600, PPG3000, and PPG3200 series datasheet details specifications, features, and options for high‑speed programmable pattern…
The PatternPro® series programmable pattern generators provide up to four channels of stressed pattern generation for high‑speed Datacom testing, supporting data rates up to 32 Gb/s and a range of applications such as 100 Gigabit Ethernet, Fibre Channel, and DP‑QPSK testing. The instruments offer configurable output amplitude, jitter insertion options, and a built‑in adjustable clock source.
The datasheet lists detailed electrical specifications, optional features (HFJIT, LFJIT, ADJ, FXD), physical dimensions, and ordering information for the PPG1600, PPG3000, and PPG3200 models, as well as compatible accessories and power plug options.
| Maximum data rate | 32 Gb/s |
|---|---|
