Overview
Introduction
Product features
The Keysight M9203A is a very fast and low noise PXIe High-
Speed Digitizer/Wideband Digital Receiver featuring wide analog
bandwidth, making it ideal for wireless, radar and satellite commu-
nication applications or any application requiring wideband signal
capture, and at the same time very high dynamic range. Thanks
to its PCI Express® backplane connection, the M9203A supports
continuous data streaming to disk.

with interleaving enabled
– 2 channels up to 1.6 GS/s simultaneous sampling rate
– DC up to 2 GHz bandwidth
– 50 Ω input impedance, DC coupled
– Selectable 1 V or 2 V full scale range (FSR)
– ±200 fs channel-to-channel skew stability
– 15 ps RMS trigger time interpolator (TTI) precision
– Up to 4 GB DDR3 on-board memory
– Enhanced real-time processing using Xilinx Virtex-6 FPGA
– Support for loading custom real-time processing
– High data throughput PCIe® Gen2 (x8) backplane
– Real-time digital down-conversion (-DDC) with adjustable
center frequency and analysis bandwidth
Product description
The M9203A is a dual-slot 3U PXIe 12-bit High-Speed Digitizer/
Wideband Digital Receiver running at 3.2 GS/s, with up to 2 GHz
instantaneous analog bandwidth and providing a large 4 GB DDR3
acquisition memory. The M9203A features a large Xilinx Virtex-6
FPGA that can implement different functionalities depending on
which firmware option you choose.
– Real-time digitizer raw data streaming and recording bundle
– Real-time digital down-conversion with I/Q data streaming
(-CB0) and recording bundle (-CB2)
The M9203A PXIe High-Speed Digitizer/Wideband Digital Receiver
can also be combined with the Keysight 89600 VSA software for
advanced dual-channel signal analysis.
