M9383A PXIe Microwave Signal Generator

M9383A PXIe Microwave Signal Generator

The M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator is a compact modular instrument that provides frequency coverage from 1 MHz to 44 GHz, up to 1 GHz RF modulation bandwidth with an internal baseband generator, and over 2 GHz RF modulation bandwidth with external I/Q inputs. Based on the PXIe industry standard, the M9383A is highly configurable and expandable. The smallest configuration, a 14 GHz analog signal generator, can be used in simple LO or blocking applications, and the largest configuration, a 44 GHz vector signal generator, can be used for 5G applications. Many other configurations are possible, allowing the M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator to be customized for specific application requirements.
