Keysight/Agilent M9383A PXI Microwave Signal Generator
The Keysight/Agilent M9383A is a vector signal generator that has been created in a PXIe module configuration to provide accurate RF output from 1 MHz to 44 GHz. The M9383A comes in four frequency options (14, 20, 31.8 & 44 GHz) and can produce up to 1 GHz of internal modulation bandwidth through Baseband Generator Mode utilizing its 1024 MSa waveform playback memory and greater than 2 GHz instantaneous bandwidth using external I/Q inputs. The device can produce output powers of 19 dBm at 1 GHz while maintaining phase noise of -118 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. Both harmonic suppression (-46 dBc) and non-harmonic suppression (-45 dBc) are maintained at 1 GHz. The device achieves a frequency switching settling time of 250 µs, allowing for rapid step sweeps. The M9383A may be used as either a standalone analog source for use in local oscillator substitution and blocking tests or as a fully featured vector signal generator for the most demanding wideband applications.
The M9383A is built upon the industry standard PXIe platform, therefore allowing for easy integration into an M9019A chassis along with an embedded controller such as the M9037A. This configuration leaves several available slots in the chassis for other modules that include vector signal analyzers, digitizers, and VNAs, which, when combined, allow for the creation of a complete stimulus-response solution. Due to its modularity, engineers are able to configure the M9383A from a compact 14 GHz analog source to a 44 GHz vector source depending on their application needs (i.e., satellite communications, radar testing, etc.) to support various areas, including research & development, aerospace/defense, and production test of RF components and wireless infrastructure gear and satellite payloads. Additionally, due to its compact size and low phase noise capability, the M9383A will also accelerate validation of these components in industrial automation and high-volume manufacturing environments by accelerating tuning speed. The Gen 3 PXIe Backplane is designed to speed up waveform loading and instrument synchronization, which is critical in automated test systems. With Keysight's broader portfolio of PXIe products supporting research, aerospace/defense, and production test of 5G, Wi-Fi 7, and radar applications, the Keysight/Agilent M9383A provides wide bandwidth, spectral purity, and agile signal generation capabilities all in a compact footprint.
