The Keysight M9309A is a PXIe Vector Network Analyzer Synthesizer module designed exclusively for integration within the M9485A PXIe multiport VNA system. Operating from 187.5 MHz to 6 GHz, this synthesizer module delivers +5 dBm maximum output power and serves as a critical signal generation component for advanced network analysis. The M9309A is not designed for standalone operation and must be controlled through the M9485A software front panel.

– Compatibility & Integration
The M9309A integrates exclusively within the M9485A ecosystem. Proper chassis configuration requires slot blockers and EMC filler panels in empty slots to maintain thermal stability and module reliability. Chassis fan operation should be set to high when ambient temperature exceeds 45 °C. Pairing with the M9300A frequency reference ensures specified performance.
Note: This product has been discontinued by Keysight, though legacy support may be available.
