60 MHz to 3.8 GHz or 6 GHz

This configuration guide contains information to help you configure your M9421A VXT PXIe vector transceiver to meet your requirements. Ordering optional capabilities at time of purchase provides the lowest overall cost.

Included in base product

Standard options and accessories come with the VXT base model at no additional charge and do not need to be ordered. They include:

• I/Q analyzer

• 40 MHz modulation and analysis bandwidth

• 256 MSa memory

Multi-chassis configurations

Quantity of components required depends on controller selected and number of chassis supported. The M9038A embedded controller is recommended for multi-chassis configurations. The standalone PC is supported.

Using a Non-Keysight Chassis

The M9421A VXT PXIe vector transceiver can be successfully installed in a non-Keysight PXI chassis. Please use the following guidelines.

• Ensure that the chassis has enough consecutive PXIe or PXI-H slots to accommodate the M9421A VXT PXIe vector transceiver.

• Ensure that the chassis and controller supports peer-to-peer PXI Express I/O switch topology.

• Ensure that controller selected is compatible with chassis.

Please contact your Keysight representative for more detailed information. For technical assistance with non-Keysight equipment, please refer to the equipment manufacturer’s website.
