Agilent Technologies M9392A PXI vector signal analyser

Agilent Technologies has expanded its test and measurement portfolio into the modular domain with the introduction of new PXI and AXIe products.

The PXI vector signal analyser, the M9392A, has frequency coverage from 50 MHz to 26.5 GHz with 250 MHz of instant bandwidth.

The instrument, when combined with the 89601A VSA software, provides a microwave vector signal analyser, enabling analysis of communications, radar and avionics signals in a modular, open-system standard.

The system consists of PXIe IF digitiser, PXI local oscillator, PXI attenuator/preselector, and PXI downconverter modules.

Features and benefits include: the 89601A vector signal analysis software assists in characterising complex, time-varying signals with detailed and simultaneous spectrum, modulation and time waveform analysis; single vendor solution facilitates integration and simplifies technical support. It features modular and software-defined building blocks that provide flexible system configurations to meet diverse test needs - connector compatibility allows easy integration with other test and automation modules in PXIe hybrid chassis and the PXI form factor conforms to government requirements for modular system design. Also, reduced development time is enabled with included drivers, soft front panels and programming examples in LabVIEW, Lab Windows/CVI, Visual Studio C, C++, C#, Visual Basic and MATLAB.
