3 | Keysight | M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer - Data Sheet Overview Be ready for tomorrow - today RF requirements keep growing while timelines keep shrinking. To help ease the technical and business pressures, the right test solution provides continuity in measurements and longevity in capability. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9391A PXIe vector signal analyzer (PXI VSA) is the next logical step in RF signal analysis. The M9391A PXI VSA, combined with the M9381A PXIe vec - tor signal generator provides a complete solution for fast, high quality measurements optimized for RF manufacturing test environments. To help you get proven results even faster, Keysight’s PXI VSA can be used with X-Series measurement applications for modular instruments, 89600 VSA software and System - Vue. These software applications enable you to investigate, validate and test your RF communications designs. From fully modular hardware to software leverage to world - wide support, the PXI VSA is the low-risk way to manage change and be ready for tomorrow—today. Product description The M9391A PXI VSA is a modular vector signal analyzer for frequencies from 1 MHz to 6 GHz and up to 160 MHz analysis bandwidth. The M9391A is comprised of four individual PXI modules - M9350A downconverter, M9214A digitizer, M9301A synthesizer and M9300A frequency reference. A single M9300A frequency reference can be shared between multiple instruments to minimize footprint. The flexible, modular design of the M9391A enables you to efficiently scale to multi-channel signal analysis to test multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) devices. Capability can also be scaled with options for memory, frequency range and modulation bandwidth which can be easily upgraded in the field.

Applications

– Power amplifier and front-end-module design validation and manufacturing – Radio transceiver design validation and production test – MIMO and multi-channel device test Figure 1. M9391A PXIe vector signal analyzer with four modules consisting

4 | Keysight | M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer - Data Sheet Definitions for specifications Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows: – Full temperature range = Individual module temperature of 25 to 75 °C, as reported by the module, and environment temperature of 0 to 55 °C. – Controlled temperature range = Individual module tempera - ture of 40 to 51 °C, as reported by the module, and environ - ment 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. – Calibrated instruments have been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the full temperature range – 45 minute warm-up time – Calibration cycle maintained – When used with Keysight M9300A frequency reference and Keysight interconnect cables Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product, but that is not covered by the product warranty. Characteristics are often referred to as Typical or Nominal values and are italicized. – Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of instruments will meet when operated within the controlled temperature range. – Nominal describes representative performance that is useful in the application of the product when operated within the controlled temperature range. 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 – Maintain temperature stability for best multi-channel phase coherence – Set chassis fans to maximum – Maintain stable ambient temperature – Perform warm-up with session open and representative acquisition waveform running Conversion type operating range Conversion types Frequency range Auto 1 MHz to 3 or 6 GHz Image protect 1 MHz to 3 or 6 GHz Single high 400 MHz to 3 or 6 GHz Single low 1.1 GHz to 3 or 6 GHz Additional information – Mixer level offset modifies the receiver gain prior to the first mixer of the receiver. A negative setting improves distortion positive setting improves noise performance at the cost of distortion. – Performance described in this document applies for module temperature within ± 3 degrees of comprehensive alignment, unless otherwise noted. – When used with a Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis, compre - hensive alignment requires chassis FPGA version 1.05 or greater. – When configured for multi-channel, phase-coherent operation (shared synthesizer configuration), instrument level warranted specifications only apply to the M9391A which was previously calibrated with the M9301A synthesizer, showing a valid calibration indicator. For all other M9391A channels, specifications revert to typical performance. If using an external LO distribution unit, such as the V2802A LO distribution network, specifications for all M9391A channels revert to typical performance. – All graphs contain measured data from one unit and is repre - sentative of product performance within the controlled temperature range unless otherwise noted. – The specifications contained in this document are subject to change.

1. At expected input level ≤ −37 dBm, pre-amp is switched on. 8. Total absolute amplitude accuracy is the total of all amplitude measurement errors. This specification includes the sum of the following individual specifica - tions: linearity, expected input level switching uncertainty, IF bandwidth filter switching uncertainty, absolute amplitude accuracy. The wide range of settings confidence are computed for each parameter on a statistically significant number of instruments. The root-sum-square (RSS) of these four independent Gaussian parameters is then taken. To that RSS value, two environmental effects and measurement uncertainty are added. One environmental effect is that of temperature (full and controlled temperature range, as defined above) and the other is the temperature variation of ±3 degrees around a field alignment. Applies over the following subset of settings and conditions: expected input level −50 dBm to +30 dBm; input signals within 60 dB below expected input level; 40 MHz and 160 MHz IF filters; input signal at center frequency over full frequency range. 9. The absolute amplitude accuracy is the amplitude measurement error when only changing frequency. The expected input level, conversion type and IF bandwidth settings remain the same and the error introduced by those parameters are not included. Pre-amp auto/OFF expected input level +10 dBm and −12 dBm. Pre-amp ON expected input level −30 dBm. 10.

The default mode for allocation of capture memory is AgM9391MemoryModeNormal, where the digitizer’s memory is shared by both the default single acquisition (capture ID = 0) and all the other acquisitions with non-zero capture IDs. In particular, the memory for the default single acquisition is allocated from the area unused by the list acquisitions. If the available memory is not sufficient for the single acquisition, the user must release memory allocated for the non-zero capture ID acquisitions manually, thus increasing free space. Total memory usage is limited according to the memory option. Note that the maximum size of acquisition is 2 GB in this mode. To perform the default single acquisition with memory size larger than 2 GB, AgM9391MemoryModeLargeAcquisition must be selected. The non-zero capture ID acquisitions cannot be per formed in this mode. All data acquired with AGM9391MemoryMode Normal will be invalidated. 39. The maximum size for a single list point capture is limited to 512 MSamples (2 GB). However, with option M10, total capture of up to 3.999 GB is available across all list mode captures. 40. 64-bit mode, 2 samples for 32-bit mode. 41. Negative trigger delay limited to capture size. 42. Multi-channel capability only supported with up to 8-channels when configured with a Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis with FPGA version 1.05 or greater. Characteristics measured at 400, 900, 2400, 5800 MHz and apply in Auto Conversion mode at frequencies ≥400 MHz with IF filter = 160 MHz. V2802A LO distribution network used for phase synchronization for more than 4 channels. 43. Jitter indicates measurement-to-measurement variation and applies over short time interval at room temperature without resetting or reinitializing a driver session. 44. Repeatability indicates stability of alignment between channels across power cycles and IVI sessions, with identical cabling and hardware settings (fre - quency, span, sample rate, etc.) 45. Channel time and phase offsets can be adjusted using OffsetDelay and OffsetPhase properties respectively.
