Operation
Front-Panel Features
Recovered Clock The recovered clock signal is routed directly to the Agilent 83480A mainframe
through the module’s rear panel. This output has a lower jitter modulation
bandwidth than the front-panel CLOCK Auxiliary Output. Because of the reduced
jitter modulation bandwidth on the mainframe trigge r signal, a more complete
view of the jitter on the waveform data is obtained.
Multimode and single-mode connections
Agilent83492A modules use multimode fiber. Connecting the output to the Optical
INPUT connector on Agilent83481/2/5 single-mode modules results in large reflections
and insertion loss.
Agilent83493A modules use 9/125 µm single-mode fiber. Connecting multimode fiber
to the Optical Input connector results in large reflections and insertion loss.
