M9381A PXIe Vector Signal Generator
Product Fact Sheet
Industries and applications
– Power amplifier and front-end-module design validation and manufacturing
– Radio transceiver design validation and production test
– MIMO & multi-channel device test
Product description
The Keysight Technologies M9381A PXIe vector signal generator
(PXI VSG) is a compact modular instrument that provides frequency coverage from 1 MHz to 6 GHz and works seamlessly with the
M9391A PXIe vector signal analyzer (PXI VSA). The PXI VSG reduces test time with fast amplitude and frequency switching and versatile list mode optimized for manufacturing test.
Based on a flexible, multi-channel ready platform, the M9381A quickly generates modulated test signals to validate receiver and component performance under a variety of conditions. Keysight's
Signal Studio and Waveform Creator software simplify and streamline signal creation and generation, covering you from basic analog and digital modulation to the latest wireless standards, including LTE-Advanced and 802.11ac.
