What it is

The Keysight M9411A is a PXIe vector transceiver used with 89600 VSA software. The M9410A/M9411A family integrates core signal-analysis capabilities with hardware speed and accuracy, and the PXIe form factor supports multiple transceivers in minimal space.[2]

How it works

The M9410A/M9411A supports a center-frequency range within 330 MHz to 6.08 GHz for VSA use. The multichannel configuration uses a dedicated system timing module, a chassis reference lock, and separate HiSLIP VISA addresses for each module.[2][3]

Where it fits in the process flow

The M9410A/M9411A family is used where synchronous acquisition across multiple channels is needed for multichannel measurements. The software workflow assigns each module a unique address so the modules can be distinguished within the same chassis.[2][3]

Applications

The M9411A is used for RF signal analysis and multichannel measurement work in conjunction with 89600 VSA software. The family is intended for modular transceiver measurements where hardware speed and accuracy are needed.[2]

The M9410A/M9411A supports multichannel acquisition for measurement setups that require synchronous capture across several modules. The software also supports the related M9410E/M9411E configuration, which combines the base module with an M9471A module.[2][3]

Frequently asked questions

How many channels can the multichannel configuration support?

A multichannel configuration can achieve up to four channels of synchronous acquisition.[3]

What center-frequency limits apply when using the M9410A/M9411A with VSA?

The span must remain within hardware limits on center frequency from 330 MHz to 6.08 GHz, and the center-frequency limits for VSA are 330.0005 MHz to 6.0799995 GHz.[2]

What is required for multichannel configuration?

Each module must have the MMO option, all modules must be the same model, all modules must have the same firmware version, and the system must use the M9300A in the chassis timing slot.[3]
