M9415A

Research Quality: 40% complete

The Keysight M9415A is a PXIe vector transceiver that combines a signal generator and signal analyzer in a 3-slot PXIe module. The M9415A covers a frequency range from 380 MHz to 12 GHz with a maximum RF bandwidth of 1.2 GHz. The M9415A achieves an SSB phase noise of -130 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset) and a DANL of -167 dBm at 1 GHz.^[1]
