Keysight Technologies 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) 03 | Keysight | M9362AD01 PXIe Quad Downconverter - Data Sheet 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. Figure 1.

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. General Characteristics All characteristics are typical unless otherwise noted.
