1
CB2 digital down-conversion streaming and
recording
This bundle enables continuous gapless acquisition, implementing:
– Digital down converter functionality in real time
– Data steaming to host
– Multichannel recording to disk all I/Q samples for later analysis.
– Independent local-oscillators, with phase-coherency between
channels.
Application Options
For specific applications the M9203A PXIe High-Speed Digitizer/
Wideband Digital Receiver can be configured with specific
options:
– CB0: Digitizer streaming and recording
– CB2: Digital down converter streaming and recording at
1.6 GS/s
– BB1: High fidelity digitizer
The -CB2 option is added on top of a M9203A pre-configured
version composed of:
– 1.6 GS/s sampling rate (-SR2)
– Full bandwidth (-F10)
– 4 GB acquisition memory (-M40)
– Digitizer firmware (-DGT)
CB0 digitizer streaming and recording
CB0 is a turnkey reference bundle, based on the continuous
simultaneous acquisition and readout architecture, implementing
a real time digitizer data recorder for gapless acquisition. It
includes a command line application ensuring performance of
up to 2 GB/s2 in a specific qualified system. An easy to use data
viewer application is also provided.
This option provides:
– Guaranteed recording specification up to 320 MHz
instantaneous bandwidth (IBW) with tunable intermediate
frequency with recommended configuration.
– Data throughput optimization (I/Q samples with 32-bit, 16-bit
or 12-bit mode).
This digitizer streaming and recording option with bundled appli-
cations provides:
– Guaranteed recording specification
– Various recording speed controlled by application
– Adaptable sampling rate (decimation and external clock)
– Data throughput optimization (12-bit, 10-bit or 8-bit mode).
The option includes an intuitive command line application allowing
to control the M9203A and a data viewer providing a simple
graphical user interface (GUI) which allows to read, display, select
and export the data stored.
This option is added on top of a M9203A pre-configured version
composed of:
– 1.6 GS/s sampling rate (-SR2) or up to 2 GS/s (-SR2, -INT,
with external clock)
Maximum streaming and recording performance is guaranteed
using an additional qualified host computer system with specific
storage devices configuration.4
– Full bandwidth (-F10)
– 4 GB acquisition memory (-M40)
– Digitizer firmware (-DGT)
BB1 high fidelity digitizer
This high fidelity digitizer option provides enhanced performance
by:
– Compensating the ADC and front-end distortion
– Minimizing interleave spurs
The digitizer data streamer application is an intuitive command
line application which allows to control the M9203A and adapts
its data rate to the target application.
– Reducing the overall noise bandwidth.
The data viewer is a graphical user interface (GUI) application
which allows to read, display, select and export the data stored.
This results in highly improved and uniform measurement fidelity
across the useful bandwidth, which greatly benefits RF and wireless
frequency domain measurements. The digitizer’s post processing
compensation also delivers better spurious-free dynamic range
(SFDR) and intermodulation product (IMx) specifications.

This application option is pre-configured with:
Figure 6. Streaming options (-CB0, -CB2) are proposed with a recommended host
– 1.6 GS/s sampling rate (-SR2)
PC and SSD. Performance is guaranteed with specific configurations3.
Leaving choice of bandwidth and memory, for optional use in -BB1
mode, recommendation is:
– 650 MHz bandwidth (-F05)
Maximum streaming and recording performance is guaranteed
using an additional qualified host computer system with specific
storage devices configuration.4
– 256 MB acquisition memory (-M02)
It allows the following usage as high fidelity digitizer:
1. Application options are delivered on the high-speed digitizer DVD.
2. Equivalent to: 2 GS/s in 8-bit mode, 1.6 GS/s in 10-bit mode, and
1.3 GS/s in 12-bit mode.
3. To reach the guaranteed performances the system requires both an
external computer and data storage.
4. Keysight proposes full system and installation services. Please contact
support at digitizers@keysight.com for additional information.
– 1.6 GS/s with 650 MHz bandwidth, up to 64 MSamples/ch.
– 800 MS/s with 400 MHz bandwidth, up to 32 MSamples/ch.
– 400 MS/s with 200 MHz bandwidth, up to 16 MSamples/ch.
– 200 MS/s with 100 MHz bandwidth, up to 8 MSamples/ch.
– 100 MS/s with 50 MHz bandwidth, up to 4 MSamples/ch.
