Clock recovery
The DCA platform offers clock recovery capability in the form of DCA plug-in modules such as the 83496B or standalone clock
recovery solutions such as the N1076A/N1077A. Specifications for 83496B modules are summarized below. For more information on
standalone clock recovery solutions, please download the N1076A/N1077A data sheet from www.keysight.com/find/N1077A.
