The Keysight M9372A is a single-slot PXIe vector network analyzer delivering two-port S-parameter measurements from 300 kHz to 9 GHz. This modular instrument integrates into any PXIe chassis, enabling flexible test architectures that scale from single-device characterization to multi-site, multiport configurations through module cascading. With 115 dB dynamic range, 0.4 mdB RMS trace noise at 1 kHz IF bandwidth, and 7 dBm output power, the M9372A combines high measurement fidelity with PXI VNA speed. Electronic calibration via USB eliminates drift and simplifies setup, while full port synchronization and multiport error correction support complex impedance and transmission measurements across cascaded modules.
