M9383A PXIe Microwave Signal Generator

Introduction

This data sheet provides key features and specifications for the M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator.

Overview

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. The compact PXIe form factor allows a customized M9383A signal generator to be placed side-by-side other PXIe instruments to provide a complete stimulus and response solution. The M9019A PXIe chassis has 18 available slots with one slot dedicated to the M9037A high-performance embedded controller. With the M9383A PXIe microwave signal generator installed in the M9019A PXIe chassis, 5 to 13 empty slots remain available for installing other PXIe modules. Keysight Technologies, Inc. has an extensive PXIe portfolio including vector signal analyzers, vector network analyzers, oscilloscopes, digitizers, multimeters, digital-to-analog converters, data acquisition units, and more. As technology moves forward, new PXIe modules can be installed to provide new capability in the M9019A chassis. The PXIe platform provides a high-performance foundation for developing advanced measurement solutions. The high-speed, Gen3 backplane in the M9019A chassis moves data quickly between the controller and the M9383A modules, resulting in fast waveform loading and tuning speed. The M9037A high-performance embedded controller has the power to run the newest instrument control software. The configurability of PXIe modules provides customizable measurement solutions for market-specific needs. Use the power of PXIe to build up the system you need today with the confidence that it can be expanded with additional capability when your requirements change tomorrow.

Definitions and Conditions

Specification (spec)

Represents warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature range of 0 to 50 °C, unless otherwise stated, and after a 1 hour warm-up period. Specifications apply when used with the Keysight M9300A frequency reference and Keysight interconnect cables. The specifications include measurement uncertainty. Data represented in this document are specifications unless otherwise noted.

Typical (typ)

Describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 80% of the units exhibit with a 95% confidence level at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty. Typical performance is not warranted.

Nominal (nom)

Describes the expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose performance is by design, such as the 50 Ω connector. This data is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Nominal performance is not warranted.

Measured (meas)

Describes an attribute measured during the design phase for purposes of communicating expected performance, such as amplitude drift vs. time. This data is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Measured performance is not warranted.

Additional Information

All data are measured from multiple units at room temperature and are representative of product performance within the operating temperature range unless otherwise noted. All of the above apply when using the instrument in its default settings unless otherwise stated. The specifications contained in this document are subject to change.
