Keysight (formerly Agilent T&M) M9393A PXIe Performance Vector Signal Analyzer: 50 GHz with M9018A PXIe Chassis

Rated 0 out of 5
(be the first to review)

Manufacturer Keysight (formerly Agilent T&M)

Description

The M9018A chassis provides the ultimate in flexibility, compatibility, and performance. With 16 PXIe Hybrid slots, it allows the system designer to mix and match the number and location of PXIe and PXI-1 hybrid compatible modules essentially at will. It contains an advanced PCIe switch fabric that operates up to Gen 2 speeds and can be configured for optimal performance with most PXIe controller. The switch fabric is also configurable for peer-to-peer communications and any peripheral slot can communicate with any other peripheral slot without utilizing the system slot PCIe links. Combine the M9018A with the M9021A PCIe Cable Interface and M9048A PCIe Desktop Adaptor to achieve the highest system bandwidth.

The M9018A has an innovative cooling design which allows the chassis to fit into 4U of rack space in most cases. When combined with the latest 1U rack-mounted computer, a powerful system can be built in only 5U of rack space. Additionally, optional “air-inlet” modules can be used to supply more cool air from the front of the chassis.

Acquire the performance edge in PXI

Whether your system supports a leading-edge design or a legacy platform, change is certain. Modular solutions are highly adaptable and Keysight is taking flexibility farther with the M9393A PXIe performance vector signal analyzer. The M9393A is the realization of our microwave measurement expertise in modular form. It integrates core signal-analysis capabilities with hardware speed and accuracy, enabling you to tailor your system to fit specific needs today and tomorrow. Deploy the M9393A—and acquire the performance edge in PXI.

The M9393A is comprised of four individual PXIe modules – M9365A PXIe downconverter, M9308A PXIe synthesizer, M9214A PXIe digitizer, and M9300A PXIe frequency reference. The M9300A PXIe frequency reference module can be shared between multiple modular instruments. With frequency range extension (3.6 GHz to 50 GHz) Option FRX, the M9169E PXI-H switchable-input programmable step attenuator module is also recommended.
