M9362AD01
PXIe Quad Downconverter
10 MHz to 50 GHz
Data Sheet
Overview
The Keysight M9362AD01 is a PXIe 3-slot, 4-channel, coherent microwave downconverter with
frequency coverage from 10 MHz to 26.5, 40 or 50 GHz and 1.5 GHz of instantaneous bandwidth.
The M9362AD01 is well suited for wideband signal capture where multiple channels are required for
applications such as multi-channel coherent signal analysis, radar, SIGNIT, ELINT, MASINT, EW signal
capture and analysis, and RF and microwave recording and analysis.
Applications
–– Aerospace and defense
–– Wireless communications
–– Radar and wideband signal capture
Features
–– Frequency range: 10 MHz to 50 GHz
–– 1.5 GHz bandwidth per channel
–– Four-channel coherent downconversion
–– Chassis slot compatibility: PXIe hybrid, PXIe
–– PXIe form factor
Customer values
–– Wide bandwidth, multi-channel downconversion in small form factor
–– Synchronize multiple M9362AD01 downconverters for greater than 4 coherent channels
–– Conforms to Modular Open Systems Approach (MOSA)

Hardware Platform
Compliance
The M9362AD01 is PXI compliant using either a PXIe or PXIe hybrid slot. Designed to
benefit from fast data interfaces, the product can be integrated with other test and
automation modules in PXIe or PXIe hybrid chassis slots. The PXI format offers high
performance in a small, rugged package. It is an ideal deployment platform for many
automated test systems. A wide array of complementary PXI products are currently
available. Products include multimeters, waveform generators, local oscillators, digitizers, and switch multiplexers.
Software Platform
IO libraries
Keysight IO libraries suite 17 is the next generation of instrument control. An enhanced
chassis view makes it simple to connect to and control PXI and AXIe chassis and see
the details of the cards in each slot. From the chassis view, it is easy to start soft front
panels, make trigger reservations, customize the chassis numbering in multi-chassis systems, and delete manually-added chassis. There is also support for the PXI backplane
resource in Keysight VISA and conformance to the latest PXI 2012 specifications. Included in PXI 2012 is better interoperability between vendor’s PXI Resource Managers.
Calibration intervals
A functional certificate is supplied with the M9362AD01. No annual calibration is required.

Definitions for Characteristics
Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product, but that is not covered by the product
warranty. Characteristics are often referred to as typical or nominal values. All characteristics in this data sheet are typical unless
otherwise noted.
–– Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of instruments are expected to meet when operated over a 20 to 30 °C
temperature range. Typical performance is not warranted.
–– Nominal describes representative performance that is useful in the application of the product when operated over a 20 to 30 °C
temperature range. Nominal performance is not warranted.
Note: All graphs contain measured data from several units at room temperature unless otherwise noted.
