Keysight/Agilent M9816AS PXI Vector Component Analyzer
The Keysight M9816AS PXI Vector Component Analyzer can be used as an efficient method of performing multiport RF characterization. This device combines both vector network analysis and modulated signal testing within one PXIe module. The frequency range on this product ranges from 100 kHz to 32 GHz. Therefore, it could potentially replace several benches of a combination of network analyzer(s), signal analyzer(s), and/or switch matrix(es) that are needed to evaluate front-end modules (FEMs), antenna arrays, and/or integrated wireless components. Additionally, the M9816AS will eliminate the need for external switching, thereby reducing cabling errors and significantly reducing test time for evaluation of beamforming/MIMO products. This product was engineered specifically for the next generation of wireless technology to provide a means to efficiently develop active antenna FEMs.
The M9816AS has a 140 dB dynamic range and is capable of measuring a noise floor of -144 dBm at 1 GHz. As such, the M9816AS provides users with a high degree of precision for network analysis and also flexibility to perform various forms of signal analysis. The built-in two-port architecture along with its use of a single internal source allows users to generate up to 10 dBm of power to test both active and passive devices. Users can utilize the CW operating modes to measure S-parameters and gain; however, users can quickly switch to utilizing either EVM or ACP measurement modes, which do not require changing hardware. An external signal generator or a PXI vector adapter can supply a modulated stimulus to the DUT for complete characterization of transmitters and receivers under realistic conditions. In addition to providing measurement wizards to assist users in creating complex network and/or spectrum measurement sequences, the M9816AS is well suited for repetitive characterization of multi-channel FEMs and phased array antennas.
Simultaneous port measurements allow accurate measurement of beamforming performance and mutual coupling. The modular PXIe design provides inherent synchronous multiport operations while maintaining consistency in error corrections regardless of port count. The resulting compact, high-throughput platform is ideally suited for 5G front-end and antenna production.
