Quick Confidence Check
This procedure verifies the basic functionality of the lightwave receiver. The
following equipment is used:
• Agilent 83434A lightwave receiver
• Pattern generator
• Clock source
• Optical oscilloscope
• Optical source
1 Turn on the Agilent 83434A and let it warm up for 30 minutes.
2 Connect the output of the optical source (1300–1600 nm,
≥ –16 dBm,
modulated at 9953.28 Mb/s or, for option 106, 10664.23 Mb/s) to the OPTICAL
INPUT of the Agilent 83434A. The INPUT PRESENT LED should turn on.
3 Connect the CLOCK OUT and DATA OUT of the Agilent 83434A to the input of an
oscilloscope.
4 Check for clock and data waveforms.
