AXIe High-Speed Digitizer/ Wideband Digital Receiver 8 channels, 12-bit, up to 3.2 GS/s, DC up to 2 GHz input frequency range Data Sheet
The M9703A is a very fast versatile DC-coupled 12-bit wideband digital receiver/digitizer, providing exceptional measurement idelity over multiple phase coherent channels. Based on the AXIe standard, offering eight acquisition channels in a single-slot card, it provides excellent channel density and lexible scalabilit y. These features allow the implementation of a large number of high dy- namic range, phase-coherent channels in a small volume, making the M9703A high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver ideal for multi-channel applications in advanced physics, aerospace & defense, and RF communications. Product description The M9703A is a revolutionary 8-channel, 12-bit wideband digital receiver/digitizer, implementing a patented front-end able to capture signals from DC up to 2 GHz at 1.6 GS/s, with exception- al measurement accuracy. An interleaving capability allows two channels to be combined to acquire at 3.2 GS/s on four channels with more than 1 GHz instantaneous bandwidth. The M9703A wideband digital receiver/digitizer also provides very long on-board acquisition memory and real-time data processing capability with four Virtex 6 FPGAs. The on-board FPGAs can feature an optional real-time digital downconverter (DDC) that allows tuning and zooming on the sig- nal to be analyzed. The DDC functionality improves the dynamic range, reduces the noise loor, extends the capture time, and accelerates the measurement speed. For information on other irmware options please contact Keysight Technologies, Inc.: digitizers@keysight.com The M9703A high-speed digitizer can also be combined with the Keysight 89600 VSA software for advanced multi-channel signal analysis.

Technical Speciications and Characteristics 1. The channel-to-channel skew is deined as the magnitude of time delay diff erence between two digitized channel inputs, granted the same signal is provided to each channel at the exact same time. 2. The measurement represents the maximum time skew, measured with a Sinei t method on 100k samples, for a sinusoid signal at 400 MHz and averaged 10 times. 3. Skew and offset stability are measured at 25 °C in a climatic chamber. The sk ew and offset between channels are measured every 5 minutes over 12 hours and after 1hour stabilization time and the values represent the di spersion of the measurements. Valid for channels within a same module and accross modules of a same chassis. 4. Measured at 1.6 GS/s for a -1 dBFS input signal in internal clock mode with F10 opt ion.

Deinitions for speciications Speciications describe the warranted performance of calibrated instruments that ha ve been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature range of 0 to 45 °C, unless otherwise stated, an d after a 45 minute warm-up period. Data represented in this document are speciications unless otherwise noted . Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the produc t, but that is not covered by the product warranty. Characteristics are often referred to as Typical or No minal values. – Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of instruments wil l meet when operated over a 20 to 30 °C tem- perature range. Typical performance is not warranted. – Nominal describes representative performance that is useful in the applicati on of the product when operated over a 20 to 30 °C temperature range. Nominal performance is not warranted. Note: All graphs contain measured data from several units at room tempera ture unless otherwise noted. Calibration intervals The M9703A is factory calibrated and shipped with a calibration certiic ate. Calibration is recommended every year in order to verify product performa nce.
