Keysight (Agilent) M9300A

The Keysight M9300A is a 1-slot PXIe modular frequency reference module that delivers stable 10 MHz and 100 MHz signals for high-performance test systems. It provides five 100 MHz outputs, one 10 MHz output, and one OCXO output with low phase noise characteristics. The module locks to external reference signals spanning 1 to 110 MHz and supports up to four PXIe VSAs, VSGs, or VXTs within a single chassis.

– Technical Specifications

• Five 100 MHz outputs

• One OCXO (Oven Controlled Crystal Oscillator) output
• 100 MHz output amplitude: ≥10 dBm
• External reference locking range: 1 to 110 MHz
• Low phase noise
• 1-slot PXIe module
• Electrical signals rated Measurement Category I and II per IEC 60664

– Key Features

• Low phase noise performance ensures timing integrity across multi-instrument systems
• Supports up to four synchronized VSAs, VSGs, or VXTs in a single chassis for multi-channel applications
• External locking capability accommodates customer reference standards and distributed timing architectures
• Environmental qualification per IEC 60068-2 with test levels equivalent to MIL-PRF-28800F Class 3
• Temperature testing includes storage, transportation, and end-use conditions
• Requires EMC filler panels in unused slots; chassis fan set to high for ambient temperatures exceeding 45 °C

– Control and Software

Instrument control via soft front panel (SFP) and programmatic interfaces. Driver support includes IVI-COM, IVI-C, LabVIEW, VEE, and MATLAB. Command Expert software streamlines parameter configuration and command discovery.
