Product description
The M9391A PXI VSA is a modular vector signal analyzer for
frequencies from 1 MHz to 6 GHz and up to 160 MHz analysis
bandwidth. The M9391A is comprised of four individual
PXI modules - M9350A downconverter, M9214A digitizer,
M9301A synthesizer and M9300A frequency reference. A
single M9300A frequency reference can be shared between
multiple instruments to minimize footprint.
The flexible, modular design of the M9391A enables you

to efficiently scale to multi-channel signal analysis to test
multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) devices. Capability
can also be scaled with options for memory, frequency range
and modulation bandwidth which can be easily upgraded in
the field.
Applications
Power amplifier and front-end-module design validation
and manufacturing
Radio transceiver design validation and production test
MIMO and multi-channel device test

7. At expected input level 37 dBm, pre-amp is switched on.

8. Total absolute amplitude accuracy is the total of all amplitude measurement errors. This specification includes the sum of the following individual specifica-
tions: linearity, expected input level switching uncertainty, IF bandwidth filter switching uncertainty, absolute amplitude accuracy. The wide range of settings
used (i.e., expected input level, etc.) are tested independently. The individual error contributions are calculated as follows: a 99.8 % proportion and 95%
confidence are computed for each parameter on a statistically significant number of instruments. The root-sum-square (RSS) of these four independent
Gaussian parameters is then taken. To that RSS value, two environmental effects and measurement uncertainty are added. One environmental effect is that
of temperature (full and controlled temperature range, as defined above) and the other is the temperature variation of 3 degrees around a field alignment.
Applies over the following subset of settings and conditions: expected input level 50 dBm to +30 dBm; input signals within 60 dB below expected input level;
40 MHz and 160 MHz IF filters; input signal at center frequency over full frequency range.
9. The absolute amplitude accuracy is the amplitude measurement error when only changing frequency. The expected input level, conversion type
and IF bandwidth settings remain the same and the error introduced by those parameters are not included. Pre-amp auto/OFF expected input
level +10 dBm and 12 dBm. Pre-amp ON expected input level 30 dBm.
10. Typical specifications shown at M9350A downconverter reported module temperature of 46 C and a corresponding environment temperature
of 25 C.
11. When using pre-amp auto mode, applies for signal level within expected input level >37 dBm.

38. The default mode for allocation of capture memory is AgM9391MemoryModeNormal, where the digitizers memory is shared by both the default
single acquisition (capture ID = 0) and all the other acquisitions with non-zero capture IDs. In particular, the memory for the default single
acquisition is allocated from the area unused by the list acquisitions. If the available memory is not sufficient for the single acquisition, the user
must release memory allocated for the non-zero capture ID acquisitions manually, thus increasing free space. Total memory usage is limited
according to the memory option. Note that the maximum size of acquisition is 2 GB in this mode. To perform the default single acquisition with
memory size larger than 2 GB, AgM9391MemoryModeLargeAcquisition must be selected. The non-zero capture ID acquisitions cannot be per
formed in this mode. All data acquired with AGM9391MemoryMode Normal will be invalidated.
39. The maximum size for a single list point capture is limited to 512 MSamples (2 GB). However, with option M10, total capture of up to 3.999 GB
is available across all list mode captures.
40. 64-bit mode, 2 samples for 32-bit mode.
41. Negative trigger delay limited to capture size.
42. Multi-channel capability only supported with up to 8-channels when configured with a Keysight M9018A PXIe chassis with FPGA version 1.05 or greater.
Characteristics measured at 400, 900, 2400, 5800 MHz and apply in Auto Conversion mode at frequencies 400 MHz with IF filter = 160 MHz. V2802A LO
distribution network used for phase synchronization for more than 4 channels.
43. Jitter indicates measurement-to-measurement variation and applies over short time interval at room temperature without resetting or reinitializing a driver
session.
44. Repeatability indicates stability of alignment between channels across power cycles and IVI sessions, with identical cabling and hardware settings (fre-
quency, span, sample rate, etc.)
45. Channel time and phase offsets can be adjusted using OffsetDelay and OffsetPhase properties respectively.
