Keysight M9351A PXI Downconverter

The Keysight M9351A Downconverter is designed for use with Keysight’s PXI Digitizers. Customers can rapidly arrange the parameters of the instrument with several options for programming interfaces. The most refined capacities are open through the different programmed interfaces of the instrument. The M9351A strengthens the interfaces for Visual Studio, MATLAB, and LabVIEW. The interfaces are executed utilizing the IVI standard that bolsters both IVI-COM and IVI-C. Having several interfaces to choose from allows the user to easily implement the M9351A into their current test system.

This one-slot PXI 3U downconverter shifts RF signals from 50 MHz to 2.9 GHz into baseband frequency signals concentrated on an IF repeat of 500 MHz. The bandwidth of this PXI product is 40 MHz. The built-in preamplifier on the Keysight M9351A Downconverter allows low level signal measurements to -160 dBm. Another useful feature of this modular product is the built-in calibration. This feature makes power budget calculations easier for the user.

The M9351A functions admirably with other modular PXI products, such as the Agilent M9392A PXI Vector Signal Analyzer and 89600 VSA software. The result of these combined PXI products is a signal analysis solution perfect for aerospace and defense applications. The Keysight M9351A also conforms to the Modular Open Systems Approach or MOSA. The chassis slot compatibility of this PXI Downconverter is for cPCI (J1), PXIe Hybrid, and PXI-1 chassis. The Keysight M9351A is ideal for use with the following applications: aerospace and defense, radar and wideband signal capture, and wireless communications.
