The M9383A PXIe Microwave Signal Generator from Keysight operates from 1 MHz to 44 GHz. This PXIe signal generator meets critical 1 percent EVM and 1 GHz bandwidth requirements for complex waveforms up to 44 GHz making it ideal for 5G, Aerospace and Defense Wideband Applications. The 1 percent EVM, a critical measure of 5G modulated signal performance, for 800 MHz wide pre-5G waveforms.
Engineers can now create Keysight validated Verizon pre-5G standard (5GTF) compliant waveforms and 5G candidate waveforms, such as 8 x 100 MHz OFDM component carriers (CC), for the PXIe signal generator using Keysight's Signal Studio or SystemVue software. The software also allows engineers to create custom waveforms for emerging wireless, 5G new radio (5G NR) and aerospace and defense applications.
The M9383A PXIe vector signal generator is integrated in Keysight's 5G testbed reference solution, adopted by several 5G development teams working across the sub-6 GHz, 28 GHz, and 39 GHz bands.
This vector signal generator is also scalable and upgradable. Engineers can add channels to either vector or analog configurations. Users also can upgrade frequency, bandwidth and other performance characteristics as signal standards evolve. Modulation bandwidths of up to 2 GHz are supported through external IQ inputs.
