The serial BERT N4906B is a general-purpose bit error ratio tester,
designed for testing high-speed digital communication components and
systems. It is ideal for cost-effective manufacturing and telecom device
testing. It offers a 3.6 or 12.5 Gb/s pattern generator and error detector
with excellent price/performance ratio.
Transition times < 25 ps allow precise measurements. The analyzer can be
configured with CDR to test clockless interfaces and with true differential
inputs to test LVDS and other differential interfaces.

interfaces allow smooth integration into automated test environments.
For bench users the N4906B serial BERT offers an intuitive user interface
with state-of-the-art Windows-XP based touch-screen.
Deeper insight into the device’s performance can be obtained with the
enhanced measurement suite. It offers many valuable signal analysis
tools, such as BERT scan (so-called bathtub curves) with total jitter and
its separation into RJ and DJ, eye contours, spectral jitter decomposition
and more.
