Keysight/Agilent M9806A PXIe Vector Network Analyzer
Keysight’s M9806A PXIe Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) has been designed as a compact, single-slot unit that offers two-port S-parameter measurement capability over a range of 100 KHz to 32 GHz. Due to the fact that this PXIe module contains its own source and receiver units, it allows for accurate, independent characterization of passive components such as capacitors and resistors, amplifiers, frequency converters, etc., on a test bench. This does not require the space needed by a bench-top unit.
Because each PXIe VNA module is capable of providing a phase-coherent test port, a large number of modules may be placed into a single PXIe chassis. Therefore, engineers are able to create a multiport vector network analyzer with up to 50 fully synchronized ports. Simultaneous cross-bar S-parameter measurements using all ports are possible. Additionally, because the entire multiport system is phase coherent, full multiport error correction can also be implemented through use of the S95551B software. Thus, engineers are able to significantly reduce test times when performing tests on complex multiport components. The ability to simply swap out PXIe modules rather than manually reconnecting test equipment greatly facilitates the task of measuring complex multiport networks such as antenna arrays, switch matrices, etc.
The specified system dynamic range of the M9806A is 140 dB from 50 MHz to 6.5 GHz. Trace noise is measured at 0.0015 dB RMS. Sweep acquisition time is only 2 milliseconds, allowing for significant increases in productivity during production testing. Directivity, source match, and load match errors are well controlled throughout the frequency band. Reflection and transmission tracking errors are limited to published specifications. Temperature stability is typically 0.005 dB/C, reducing the need to frequently calibrate the equipment.
Common applications for the M9806A will include S-parameter measurement of RF cable assemblies, connectors, filters, duplexers, isolators, and antennas. Active device characterization, including S-parameter measurements of amplifiers, mixers, and frequency converters, will also be common. In addition to these traditional uses for VNAs, signal integrity applications involving impedance profiling and balanced measurements are available options. Optional spectrum analysis capabilities, along with pulsed-RF capabilities, will allow users to apply the M9806A outside of classical VNA functions.
