The MP1590B Network Performance Tester is a measuring instrument capable of measuring IP networks up to 10 GbE using the Ethernet plug-in modules of the Anritsu MD1230A test system, as well as traditional functions including testing of PDH, DSn, SDH/SONET, and OTN equipment and jitter measurement, with only one box. A new EoS unit supports EoS measurement, virtual concatenation, and LCAS measurement to enable testing of next-generation SDH/SONET equipment. The traditional MP1590A plug-in units can also be used without changes. The MP1590B can perform some simultaneous applications -- such as SDH/SONET, OTN, EoS, jitter, and Ethernet measurement -- using combinations of plug-in units.
The MP1590B-30 High Precision Jitter Analysis option introduces new accuracy for jitter measurements and a traceable calibration standard that have never before been available in the industry. Delivering an an industry-best ?20 mUIp-p accuracy in jitter measurement, it is the only test instrument to support the phase analysis method recommended in the revised ITU-T Draft O.172. This option also includes measurement repeatability of ?5 mUIp-p and guaranteed low intrinsic jitter of 50 mUIp-p. Furthermore, its Golden TX feature guarantees the jitter generation of the MP1590B's transmitter, providing a known jitter value that can be used as a reference transmission for calibrating other jitter testers.
