• Select Electrical Amplifier 1.0 and place it onto the workspace by dragging the icon
from the library.
• From the component library, go to Default > Filters Library > Electrical
• Select Low Pass Bessel Filter 1.0 and place it onto the workspace by dragging the icon
from the library.
• Connect the first Demultiplexer output port to the Photodetector PIN,
• Connect the Photodetector output to the Electrical amplifier input,
• Connect the Electrical amplifier output to the Filter input.
• Set the electrical amplifier gain to 0 dB.

BER Analyzer
In order to calculate the system performance you can use the BER Analyzer. This component can
predict the BER, Q-factor, threshold and Eye aperture. You can also obtain the BER patterns
and the BER value in each point of the Eye diagram using 3D graphs.
• From the component library, go to Default > Visualizers > Electrical
• Select BER Analyzer 1.0 and place it onto the workspace by dragging the icon from the
library.
The first input port of the BER Analyzer receives the binary signal.
• Connect the output of the first Pseudo-Random Bit Sequence Generator to the first input
port of the BER Analyzer.
