Optical modulation analyzer (OMA) software can evaluate multi-channel coherent modulation schemes using a single measurement system. Can calibrate and control multiple OMAs to acquire and analyze simultaneous data from multiple channels such as different wavelengths or fiber cores. Includes visual OMA setup tool that facilitates reconfiguration of oscilloscopes and coherent receiver frontends, so the same hardware can be used for different applications, like PAM4 research or increased channel count in DP-QPSK testing.

QuickLink twist-to-lock compression mount connector replaces surface mount connectors that require a receptacle on the PCB. Mounts directly to the PCB with a twist-to-lock footprint design that requires two small through-holes and a gold pad for the connector to land on. Footprints reportedly can be placed anywhere on the board to permit access to any channels from the device without having to solder on SMA or SMP surface mount receptacles. Low loss to 70GHz; meets bandwidth requirements of PAM4 signaling and Ka/Ku band applications. No threading or tools required.
