PXIe X-Series Signal Analyzer 10 Hz to 3.0, 7.5, 13.6 or 26.5 GHz Data Sheet

In test system development, one of your crucial requirements is doing more in less space—but this often means tradeoffs between footprint and precision in signal analysis. That is, until now: we’ve expanded the Keysight X-Series with the CXA-m, a PXIe signal analyzer that offers fully specified performance up to 26.5 GHz. It lets you handle RF and microwave signals in four slots, and you can leverage your existing code. Choose the CXA-m and deploy a smaller microwave footprint.

03 | Keysight | M9290A CXA-m PXIe X-Series Signal Analyzer - Data Sheet Technical Specifications Definitions and conditions Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows: – Full temperature range = Individual module temperature of 5 to 68 °C, as reported by the module, and environment temperature of 0 to 55 °C. – Controlled temperature range = Individual module temperature of 25 to 40 °C, as reported by the module, and environment temperature of 20 to 30 °C. Specifications describe the warranted performance of calibrated instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications under the following conditions unless otherwise noted. – It is within its calibration cycle – Under auto couple control, except when Auto Sweep Time Rules = Accy – The analyzer has been stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed operating range for at least two hours before being turned on; if it had previously been stored at a temperature range inside the allowed storage range, but outside the allowed operating range – The analyzer has been turned on at least 30 minutes with Auto Align set to normal, or, if Auto Align is set to off or partial, alignments must have been run recently enough to prevent an Alert message; if the Alert condition is changed from Time and Temperature to one of the disabled duration choices, the analyzer may fail to meet specifications without informing the user 95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the population (approx. 2σ) of performance tolerances expected to be met in 95 percent of the cases with a 95 percent confidence, for any ambient temperature in the range of 20 to 30 °C. In addition to the statistical observations of a sample of instruments, these values include the effects of the uncertainties of external calibration references. These values are not warranted. These values are updated occasionally if a significant change in the statistically observed behavior of production instruments is observed. Typical describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 80 percent of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level over the temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty. Nominal values indicate expected performance, or describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product, but are not covered by the product warranty. Recommended best practices in use – Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots to ensure proper operating temperatures. Keysight chassis and slot blockers optimize module temperature performance and reliability of test. – Set chassis fan to high at environmental temperatures above 45°C.
