Keysight Technologies M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator Spec Sheet
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the frequency coverage of the Keysight M9484C-554 VXG?
The Keysight M9484C-554 VXG vector signal generator covers a frequency range from 9 kHz to 54 GHz with 0.00001 Hz CW frequency resolution. This wide frequency coverage makes it ideal for testing next-generation wireless communications, radar systems, and aerospace/defense applications requiring signals at millimeter-wave frequencies with precise frequency control.
What maximum output power does the M9484C-554 provide?
The M9484C-554 maximum output power varies by frequency and configuration. In standard configuration, it provides up to +18 dBm from 10 MHz to 32 GHz, +15 dBm from 32 GHz to 43 GHz, and +10 dBm from 50 GHz to 54 GHz. With option 1EC, maximum output power reaches +22 dBm typical from 22.5 GHz to 32 GHz and +19 dBm typical from 43 GHz to 50 GHz, significantly extending test capabilities at higher power levels.
How does the flexible reference input option work on the M9484C?
With option 1ER, the M9484C supports a flexible reference input accepting frequencies from 1 MHz to 110 MHz with 0.1 Hz setting resolution. This allows locking to various external reference sources beyond the standard 10 MHz or 100 MHz inputs. The system provides both wide locking range (plus or minus 1.0 ppm nominal optimized for best phase stability) and narrow locking range (plus or minus 0.6 ppm nominal optimized for best close-in phase noise).
What phase noise performance does the M9484C-554 achieve?
With options ST6 or 600, the M9484C-554 delivers exceptional phase noise performance in enhanced SNR mode at +10 dBm. At 10 GHz carrier, typical SSB phase noise is -121 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset, -132 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and -136 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset. At 54 GHz, typical performance is -111 dBc/Hz at 1 kHz offset, -123 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, and -125 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset.
What vector modulation bandwidth is available on the M9484C-554?
The M9484C-554 with vector modulation options Bxx or Rxx provides internal baseband generation and wideband modulation capability. The instrument supports generation of complex wideband signals for testing 5G NR with multiple component carriers at bandwidths up to 800 MHz using 8cc x 100 MHz configurations with 256QAM and 120 kHz SCS. This capability addresses the demanding modulation bandwidth requirements of next-generation wireless communications systems.
How accurate is the output power level of the M9484C-554?
The M9484C-554 provides excellent absolute level accuracy in CW mode. From 12 MHz to 6 GHz, accuracy is less than plus or minus 0.6 dB (plus or minus 0.3 dB typical) with ALC on for +15 dBm or maximum power down to -60 dBm. From 20 GHz to 37 GHz, accuracy is less than plus or minus 0.7 dB (plus or minus 0.3 dB typical). For modulated signals such as 5G NR 8cc x 100 MHz with 256QAM, accuracy is plus or minus 1.5 dB nominal from 20 GHz to 54 GHz.
Does the M9484C support dual-channel phase-coherent operation?
Yes, with option PCH, the M9484C-554 supports dual-channel operation with precise relative phase control. Relative phase offset range is plus or minus 180 degrees with 0.001 degree resolution and 0.0001 degree nominal repeatability when tuning frequency. This phase-coherent capability is essential for MIMO testing, beamforming applications, and other multi-channel test scenarios requiring precise phase relationships between channels.
What pulse modulation features are available on the M9484C-554?
The M9484C-554 with option PMR or PME provides comprehensive pulse modulation including an internal pulse generator with modes for square, adjustable, doublet, and pulse train (SCPI only). Pulse period ranges from 60 ns to 42 seconds, with pulse width from 30 ns to 41.99 seconds. The pulse train generator with option 320 supports up to 2047 pulse patterns with on/off time range from 30 ns to 42 seconds, enabling complex pulsed radar and communication signal simulation.
