Keysight/Agilent M9411A VXT PXI Vector Transceiver
The Keysight M9411A is an all-in-one vector signal generator / analyzer that fits within 3 slots of a PXIe chassis. It can perform tests up to 6 GHz with up to 1.2 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth. The unit has 512 Msamples of memory, which is ideal for handling long waveforms that are highly modulated (such as those used by wireless IoT components & industrial communications). Its compact size will help reduce your rack space requirements and simplify cabling in high-speed production environments or validation environments. When you use the built-in sequencer mode, it allows you to define specific analyzer measurements to be performed during each test. This greatly speeds up repetitive testing. The integrated transceiver architecture also eliminates any delay caused by having to switch between instruments, which greatly increases test throughput when performing 5G or WiFi validation.
The Keysight M9411A delivers very good RF performance with a phase noise of –129 dBc/Hz and a DNL of –166 dBc/Hz @ 1 GHz. These specifications allow you to accurately detect subtle transmitter and/or receiver impairment issues. It offers an output power range from -120 dBm to +20 dBm and harmonic distortion < -44 dBc to provide a clean stimulus for characterizing the power amplifier and/or front end. Non-harmonic spurs are less than -75 dBc, so you know that the signal remains pure. The Keysight M9411A provides a 5G NR FR1 downlink EVM of just 0.33%, providing some additional test margin. Additionally, using the built-in sequencer analyzer measurement mode, you will save even more test time.
The Keysight M9411A uses the same application programs (PathWave Signal Generation & X-Series Measurement Applications) & software (89600 VSA Software) as its benchtop counterparts. Since they share common code bases, you will spend much less time developing new test procedures. An optional WaveJudge Wireless Analyzer toolset provides deep PHY/MAC layer analysis to aid in debugging protocol timing issues in automated equipment. Designers may select bandwidths of 300 MHz, 600 MHz, or 1.2 GHz depending upon the needs of their application; however, all bandwidth selections provide enough bandwidth to support multiple carriers or wideband signal testing. The M9411A’s integration of these capabilities makes it easier to validate 5G base stations and small cells, Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, and private industrial networks. As such, automation engineers will be able to shorten their design verification cycles and produce higher quality products.
