The M9379A RF Amp Module includes two amplifiers, RF switches, and a programmable step attenuator designed to operate with the M9485A and M980xA PXIe vector network analyzers (VNA). One of the internal amplifiers works as a programmable pre-amp containing two user-selectable paths, either an amplifier path with a variable gain using a step attenuator or bypass path. The M9379A can improve the noise floor of the measurement system with the M980xA PXIe VNA. For example, the M9379A with a pre-amp is an ideal solution for noise figure (NF) measurements using the M980xA's standard receivers up to 13.5 GHz. The 1-slot module also includes internal switches which are directly controlled by the M980xA's firmware, enabling synchronized fast measurements for both S-parameters and NF with the PXI system.
