The M9415B VXT vector transceiver combines a wideband RF vector transceiver and a baseband I/Q transceiver in a 4‑slot PXIe module, creating a single platform for end‑to‑end RF and baseband I/Q design validation and troublshooting, such as Wi-Fi 7/8 or 5G NR RF subsystems.
Leveraging X‑Series measurement applications and Signal Studio waveform‑generation tools, the M9415B VXT provides a robust platform for RF characterization and modulation signal analysis for RF designers and chipset designers. Together with integrated baseband I/Q stimulus and analysis, M9415B VXT enables precise evaluation of EVM, ACPR, I/Q imbalance, and nonlinear distortion, ensuring accurate assessment of transmitter linearity and modulation fidelity across the full signal path.
