QSFP Performance Evaluation Of The 400G PAM4 Active Module Test Board

The coaxial Connectors were used to evaluate the performance of the 400G PAM4 active module encapsulated in QSFPDD using a group of 40GHz 2x8 multi-Pin connectors in each of the transmitting and receiving positions. The PAM4 baud rate ranges from 25GBoud to 28GBoud Error meter, attenuator, oscilloscope and other equipment are used to evaluate the transmission performance indicators (such as eye image related indicators), receiving performance indicators (such as sensitivity indicators), read and write module EEPROM information and so on. The real object is shown in the picture below:
