Overview
Be Ready for Tomorrow — Today
RF requirements keep growing while timelines keep shrinking.
To help ease the technical and business pressures, the right test
solution provides continuity in measurements and longevity in
capability. The Keysight Technologies, Inc. M9381A PXIe vector
signal generator (PXI VSG) is the next logical step in RF signal
generation.
To get proven results even faster, use Keysight software with the
PXI VSG to create the test stimulus you need to validate and test
your RF communications designs. Signal Studio and Waveform
Creator software simplify and streamline signal creation and
generation from basic analog and digital modulation to the latest
wireless standards like LTE-Advanced and 802.11ac WLAN.
Combine the M9381A PXI VSG with the M9391A PXIe vector
signal analyzer for a complete solution for fast, high quality
measurements optimized for RF manufacturing test environments.
From fully modular hardware to software leverage to worldwide
support, the PXI VSG is the low-risk way to manage change and
be ready for tomorrow — today.

consisting of the M9311A digital vector modulator, M9310A source
output, M9301A synthesizer, and M9300A frequency reference.
Product description
The M9381A PXIe vector signal generator (PXI VSG) is a compact
modular instrument that provides frequency coverage from 1 MHz
to 6 GHz and up to 160 MHz RF modulation bandwidth. The
M9381A is comprised of four individual PXIe modules — M9311A
modulator, M9310A source output, M9301A synthesizer, and
M9300A frequency reference. A single M9300A frequency
reference can be shared between multiple instruments to minimize
footprint. A wide range of instrument drivers are available to
support your development environment of choice.
The flexible, modular design of the M9381A enables you to
efficiently scale to multi-channel signal generation to test
multiple-input, multiple-output (MIMO) devices. Many capability
options such as memory, frequency range and modulation
bandwidth can also be easily upgraded in the field.
Applications

Technical Specifications and Characteristics
Definitions for specifications
Temperatures referred to in this document are defined as follows:
–– Full temperature range = Individual module temperature
of ≤ 75 °C as reported by the module, and environment
temperature of 0 to 55 °C.
–– Controlled temperature range = Individual module
temperature of ≤ 55 °C as reported by the module, and
environment temperature of 20 to 30 °C.
Specifications describe the warranted performance of calibrated
instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications
under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.
–– Calibrated instruments have been stored for a minimum of
2 hours within the full temperature range
–– 45 minute warm-up time
–– Calibration cycle maintained
–– When used with Keysight M9300A frequency reference and
Keysight interconnect cables
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 within the controlled
temperature range.
–– Nominal describes representative performance that is useful
in the application of the product when operated within the
controlled temperature range.
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.
–– Set chassis fan to high at environmental temperatures
above 45 °C.
–– Maintain temperature stability for best multi-channel phase
coherence
–– Set chassis fans to maximum
–– Maintain stable ambient temperature
–– Perform warm-up with session open and representative
waveform running
Additional information
–– Specifications use the normal PLL mode setting, unless
otherwise stated. Narrow loop bandwidth refers to
specifications using the best wide offset PLL mode setting
AGM938X_VAL_SYNTHESIZER_PLL_MODE_BEST_WIDE_
OFFSET, available in the M938x Vector Signal Generator/CW
Source Instrument Drivers versions 1.2.300 and later.
–– Performance described in this document applies for module temperature within ± 5 degrees of IQ alignment, unless
otherwise noted.
–– When configured for multi-channel, phase-coherent operation
(shared synthesizer configuration), instrument level warranted
specifications only apply to the M9381A which was previously
calibrated with the M9301A synthesizer, showing a valid
calibration indicator. For all other M9381A channels,
specifications revert to typical performance. If using an external LO distribution unit, such as the V2802A LO distribution network, specifications for all M9381A channels revert to
typical performance.
–– All graphs contain measured data from one unit and are
representative of product performance within the controlled
temperature range unless otherwise noted.
–– The specifications contained in this document are subject to
change.
