Agilent N4974A and N4975A PRBS Generators
The Agilent Technologies N4974A PRBS generator 44 Gb/s is a self-
contained pattern generator capable of operating at either a single
fixed-frequency bit rate using the internal oscillator or operating over a
wider frequency range when used with an external half-rate clock source.
The N4974A PRBS generator 44 Gb/s operates from 22 to 44 Gb/s when
used with an external clock or at 39.81312 Gb/s when used with the
internal oscillator. The generator is also available with two more internal
oscillator choices, operating at either 25.78125 or 28.0 Gb/s.
