The Keysight M9376A is a one-port PXIe receiver module designed to extend the capabilities of the M9485A PXIe multiport vector network analyzer. Operating from 1 MHz to 9 GHz, this modular instrument delivers the trace noise, stability, and dynamic range required for demanding RF and microwave measurements in aerospace, defense, and communications applications.
Technical Specifications
• Frequency Range: 1 MHz to 9 GHz
• Trace Noise (Reflection): 0.003 dB RMS, 0.02 degrees RMS
• Stability: ±0.005 dB/°C at 1 MHz to 3 GHz
• Dynamic Range: Greater than 114 dB at 9 GHz
• Sweep Time: 18 to 33 ms across 401 points
• Maximum Leveled Power: Up to +7 dBm
– Key Features
• Compact PXIe form factor for dense test rack integration
• Cascadable architecture enables N-port measurement configurations
• Full 2-port S-parameters and multiport/multi-site capability when integrated with M9485A
• Operating temperature range: 10°C to 70°C (module), 0°C to 55°C (environment)
• Controlled temperature range: 33°C to 46°C (module), 20°C to 30°C (environment)
• Specifications apply over 25°C ±5°C ambient and module temperature unless otherwise stated
– Typical Applications
• Aerospace component and subsystem characterization
• Defense RF and microwave device testing
• High-frequency communications circuit validation
• Multiport network analysis and component screening
– Compatibility & Integration
The M9376A integrates directly with the Keysight M9485A PXIe multiport vector network analyzer and operates in PXIe or Hybrid slots within a standard PXI chassis. Multiple modules cascade for expanded measurement capability across N-port configurations. Technical documentation, reference guides, and software drivers are available from Keysight.
