Agilent/Keysight M9352A

The Keysight M9352A is a one-slot, 4-channel PXI hybrid IF amplifier/attenuator module that conditions intermediate frequency signals across a 1 GHz analog bandwidth. Operating from 10 MHz to 1 GHz, it delivers programmable gain and attenuation for multi-channel signal capture in defense, aerospace, and wireless applications. The module integrates with Keysight’s M9362A-D01 Quad Downconverter, M9202A IF Digitizers, and local oscillators to enable coherent signal analysis, radar, SIGINT, ELINT, MASINT, and EW applications.
