Keysight announces low-noise 12-bit PXIe wideband digital receiver
Santa Rosa, CA. Keysight Technologies has introduced the M9203A PXIe 12-bit high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver running up to 3.2 GS/s, with up to 2-GHz instantaneous analog bandwidth. This high-speed digitizer is suitable for applications in wireless communication, emerging communication standards, radar and satellite communication, and semiconductor automated test.
As a component of a Keysight solution, this wideband digital receiver allows microwave measurements. These modular solutions are highly adaptable and integrate core signal-analysis capabilities with hardware speed and accuracy, allowing engineers to tailor the systems to fit their specific needs.
“The M9203A PXIe 12-bit wideband digital receiver is ideal when embedded in a larger system or as a component of a Keysight Reference Solution,” said Jean-Luc Lehmann, high-speed digitizers product manager, Keysight’s Communications Solutions Group. “Its performance allows wideband signal capture, and its scalability enables system expansion.”
The M9203A features a large FPGA that can implement different functionalities depending on the selected firmware option:
- Custom firmware capability (-FDK) supports the deployment of custom processing algorithm with the U5340A FPGA development kit. Integrating algorithms minimizes the need for additional circuitry and exploit the full density and speed of the digitizer.
- Triggered simultaneous acquisition and readout (-TSR) allows sustained triggered acquisitions of thousands of samples at hundreds of kHz rates without missing any events.
- Wideband real-time digital down-conversion (-DDC) on each channel enables the user to tune and zoom on the signals of interest. The filters and local oscillators (LO) are fully synchronized allowing phase-coherent post processing.
Custom functions can also be implemented on-board, providing support of various application bundles:
- Digital down-conversion streaming and recording (-CB2) allows users to capture and record a long duration of large frequency bands up to 320-MHz instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) on a single channel, or up to 200-MHz IBW on two phase coherent channels.
- Digitizer streaming and recording (-CB0), enables to record the raw acquisition data.
- High fidelity digitizer (-BB1) provides enhanced performance by compensating the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and the front-end distortion, minimizing the interleaves spurs and reducing the overall noise bandwidth.
The M9203A PXIe 12-bit high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver, running up to 3.2 GS/s, is pricing starts at $19,110 and is orderable now.
Keysight’s high-speed digitizers are the result of more than 300 years of cumulative research and development experience in analog-to-digital conversion technology. This ensures the ability to achieve the most effective and reliable analog-to-digital conversion at high-resolution and fast sampling rates.
