Keysight/Agilent M9801A PXIe Vector Network Analyzer
Keysight's M9801A (also found under the legacy manufacturer Agilent) provides full two-port vector network analysis from 9 kHz through 6.5 GHz within a single slot PXIe module. It is designed for wireless infrastructure and validating components. Its independently operating dual-port architecture allows for true multiport configurations by adding other modules to the same chassis. Thus, it can be scaled to 50 fully synchronous ports using no external switchgear. By enabling simultaneous phase-coherent characterizations of multi-channel components (i.e., cable assemblies, backplane, and antenna array), it provides accurate S-parameter data across many ports, which will allow for signal integrity verifications that require accurate data across these multiple ports.
The M9801A has measurement performance characteristics that include an industry-leading 140 dB dynamic range and performs sweeps at rates of 201 points per sweep in 2 milliseconds; the RMS trace noise is limited to .0015 dB. Additionally, temperature stability is provided at 0.005 dB / °C, ensuring repeatable measurements regardless of changing thermal conditions, thereby limiting the need to recertify due to changes in environmental temperatures. The maximum output power is rated at 10 dBm. All of this measurement capability allows for critical tasks such as balanced device testing, filter and amplifier characterization, mixer and frequency converter analysis, and detailed S-parameter extraction for connectors, cables, isolators, etc., which will cover both R&D and high-volume manufacturing environments.
The M9801A also utilizes the exact same software platform as Keysight's benchtop PNA and ENA series, providing seamless migration of test codes across lab and factory environments. There are also optional measurement application programs available that will enhance functionality for spectrum analysis, pulsed RF testing, and time domain reflectometry without requiring additional hardware. As a result of its modularity, the Keysight/Agilent M9801A can measure passive devices such as filters, duplexers, and connectors as well as active devices such as amplifiers and mixers. With one internal source and two internally mounted ports, multiple modules may be added together to form a true multiport VNA capable of measuring up to 50 ports contained within the same chassis all while being synchronized. In addition to forming a true multiport VNA, the M9801A is available in a compact PXIe format, allowing it to easily integrate into automated test systems, thus reducing overall system footprint and increasing overall throughput for characterizing semiconductors, validating wireless infrastructure, and manufacturing RF/MW components in large quantities.
