About the M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator

The M9484C VXG is the industry's first vector signal generator capable of generating signals up to 54 GHz with 2.5 GHz of modulation bandwidth per channel. The VXG vector signal generator helps you deliver the next frontier of wireless technology such as 5G and satellite communications with a fully integrated, calibrated, and synchronized solution.

Performance Specifications for Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator

Definitions and Conditions

Specification
Specifications represent the warranted performance of a calibrated Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator that has been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature of 0 to 50 °C, unless otherwise stated, and after a 45-minute warm-up period. The specifications include measurement uncertainty. Data represented in this document are specifications unless otherwise noted.

Typical
Typical (typ) describes additional product performance information for the Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator that is not covered by the product warranty. It refers to performance beyond specifications that 80 percent of the units exhibit with a 90 percent confidence level at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.

Nominal
Nominal (nom) values indicate the expected mean or average performance of the Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator or an attribute whose performance is by design, such as the 50-ohm connector. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).

Measured
Measured (meas) describes an attribute of the Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator that is measured during the design phase for purposes of communicating expected performance, such as amplitude drift vs. time. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).

All of the above apply when using the Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator in its default settings unless otherwise stated.

Highlights - Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator

Designing 5G and satellite communication systems requires tight design margins and timelines, complex modulation, and adherence to stringent standards. You’re facing a whole new set of design and test challenges, including wider bandwidths, higher frequencies, and greater system complexity. The Keysight M9484C VXG Vector Signal Generator provides the industry’s first vector signal generator with up to 54 GHz frequency range and 2.5 GHz of modulation bandwidth in a single instrument, or up to 110 GHz with the V3080A frequency extender and 5 GHz with channel bonding, to enable your next breakthrough.

• Supports MIMO real-time fading for all 3GPP 5G NR base station conformance tests with PathWave Signal Generation software.
• Covers all 5G NR frequency bands and V- / W-band for satellite communications.
• Generates complex wideband signals needed for carrier aggregation and digital pre-distortion (DPD) applications.
• Delivers superior RF performance for accurately characterizing devices under test, such as phase noise, error vector magnitude (EVM), and adjacent channel power ratio (ACPR).
• Simplifies MIMO and beamforming test setups with up to 4 synchronized and phase-coherent channels in one instrument and more than 32 channels in multiple instruments.
• Streamlines complex receiver test scenarios with the world’s first 8-virtual-signal emulation per RF channel.
