Keysight Technologies M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference Data Sheet Overview Product Description The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9300A PXIe frequency reference is a PXIe modular instrument that can be used as a 10 MHz or 100 MHz reference in various solutions. A single M9300A can be shared with up to four PXI VSAs, VSGs or VXTs in one chassis, as shown in Figure 1, to form a multi-channel solution. Instrument control is provided through a soft front panel and programmatic interfaces tuned to your application development environment of choice. Product Features –– Locks to another reference with a value from 1 to 110 MHz. –– Five 100 MHz outputs –– One 10 MHz output –– Internal 10 MHz OCXO timebase output Uncompromising Values –– Reduces development time and simplifies integration into existing test environments with multiple drivers and programmatic interfaces. –– Reduces startup time with Keysight IO libraries easy con-figuration, one-step software install, and soft front panel. –– Fast repair turnaround time with Calibrated Core Exchange strategy. Figure 1. M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference inserted in slot 10, above, can be shared with four M9393A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzers in one chassis. 03 | Keysight | M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference - Data Sheet Technical Specifications and Characteristics Block diagram M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference (+13 dBm sine all 100 MHz Outs) 100 MHz Out 1 100 MHz PLL 100 MHz Out 2 (1 to 110 MHz) Ref In 100 MHz Out 3 100 MHz 100 MHz Out 4 10 MHz OCXO TIMEBASE 100 MHz Out 5 Divide 10 MHz by 10 10 MHz 10 MHz Out OXCO Out (10 MHz, +10 dBm to 16 dBm, sine) Figure 2.

Definitions for specifications Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows: –– Operating ambient temperature = 0 to 55 ° C and individual module temperature of ≤ 75 ° C –– Room temperature = 20 to 30 ° C and individual module temperature of ≤ 55 ° C Specifications describe the warranted performance of calibrated instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications unless otherwise noted. Specifications are warranted under the following conditions: –– Calibrated instruments that have been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating ambient temperature range –– 30 minute warm-up time –– Calibration cycle maintained Characteristics describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product. Characteristics are often referred to as Typical or Nominal values and are italicized. –– Typical describes characteristic performance, which 80% of instruments will meet when operated at room temperature. –– Nominal describes representative performance that is useful in the application of the product when operated at room temperature. Note: All graphs contain measured data from several units at room temperature unless otherwise noted. Recommended best practices in use –– Use slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty module slots to ensure proper operating temperatures. –– Keysight chassis and slot blockers optimize module temperature performance and reliability of test. –– At operating ambient temperatures above 45 °C, chassis fan should be set to high. 04 | Keysight | M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference - Data Sheet Technical Specifications and Characteristics (continued) Reference outputs 100 MHz Out (Out 1 through Out 5) Amplitude ≥ 10 dBm, 13 dBm, typical Connectors 5 SMB snap-on Impedance 50 Ω, nominal 10 MHz Out Amplitude 9.5 dBm, nominal Connectors 1 SMB snap-on Impedance 50 Ω, nominal OCXO Out Amplitude 11.5 dBm, nominal Connectors 1 SMB snap-on Impedance 50 Ω, nominal 05 | Keysight | M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference - Data Sheet Technical Specifications and Characteristics (continued) Frequency accuracy Same as accuracy of internal time base or external reference input Internal timebase Accuracy ± (time since last adjustment x aging rate) ± temperature effects ± calibration accuracy Frequency stability - Aging rate Daily < ± .5 ppb/day, after 72 hour warm-up, nominal Yearly < ± .10 ppm/year, after 72 hours warm-up, nominal Total 10 years < ± 0.6 ppm/10yrs, after 72 hours warm-up, nominal Achievable initial calibration accuracy (at time of shipment) ± 5 x 10 -8 Frequency stability - Temperature effects 20 to 30 °C < ± 10 ppb, nominal Full temperature range < ± 50 ppb, nominal Frequency stability - warm up 5 minutes over +20 to +30 °C, with respect to 1 hour < ± 0.1 ppm, nominal 15 minutes over +20 to +30 °C, with respect to 1 hour < ± 0.01 ppm, nominal External reference input Frequency 1 MHz to 110 MHz, sine wave Lock range ± 1 ppm, nominal Amplitude 0 to 10 dBm, nominal Connector 1 SMB snap-on Impedance 50 Ω, nominal 06 | Keysight | M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference - Data Sheet Technical Specifications and Characteristics (continued) Environmental and physical specifications Temperature Operating Non-Operating (Storage) 0 to 55 °C –40 to +70 °C Humidity 1 Type tested at 95%, +40 °C (non-condensing) Altitude Up to 15,000 feet (4,572 meters) EMC Complies with European EMC Directive 2004/108/EC –– IEC/EN 61326-2-1 –– CISPR Pub 11 Group 1, class A –– AS/NZS CISPR 11 –– ICES/NMB-001 This ISM device complies with Canadian ICES-001.
