M9420A VXT PXIe Vector Transceiver
60 MHz to 3.8, or 6 GHz
Overview
Compress time, compress test
The best solution for a specific problem is a focused tool you simply fine-tune. Keysight’s M9420A PXIe vector transceiver (VXT) is purpose-built for rapid solution creation and faster throughput in manufacturing test of wireless components and Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. With FPGA-accelerated measurements and deep software, the ready-to-run VXT lets you start closer to your finish line.
Product description
The M9420A VXT is a four-slot PXIe vector signal generator and analyzer, ranging from 60 MHz to 3.8 or 6 GHz with modulation and analysis bandwidth up to 160 MHz. Up to four VXT’s can be configured in a single 18-slot PXI chassis, with only a single M9300A frequency reference required. Alternatively, a versatile single-chassis custom solution can be created from Keysight’s modular portfolio, dramatically reducing test footprint.

Technical Specifications
Definitions and conditions
Specifications describe the warranted performance of cali¬brated instruments. Data represented in this document are specifications under the following conditions unless otherwise noted.
- Within the previous 8 hours
- If the temperature has changed more than 5 °C from the previous “ALL” alignment
Typical describes additional product performance information. It is performance beyond specifications that 95 percent of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level. This data, shown in italics, does not include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 25 °C) after alignment within the stated alignment time and temperature limits.
Nominal values indicate expected performance or describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product.
Recommended best practices in use
Software
Instrument connection software
The I/O library suite offers a single-entry point for connection to the most common instruments including AXIe, PXI, GPIB, USB, Ethernet/LAN, RS-232, and VXI test instruments from Keysight and other vendors. It automatically discovers interfaces, chassis, and instruments. The graphical user interface allows you to search for, verify, and update IVI instrument and soft front panel drivers for modular and traditional instruments. The IO suite safely installs in side-by-side mode with NI I/O software.
Module setup and usage
The VXT includes a soft front panel (SFP), a software-based graphical user interface (GUI) which enables the instrument’s capabilities from your PC.
Module management
Connection expert is the graphical user interface included in the I/O libraries suite that allows you to search for, verify and update IVI instrument and soft front panel drivers for modular and traditional instruments.
Programming
Development environments
Visual Studio (VB .NET, C#, C/C++), VEE, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, MATLAB
Programming assistance
Assists in finding the right instrument commands and setting correct parameters. A simple interface includes documentation, examples, syntax checking, command execution, and debug tools to build sequences for integration in Excel, MATLAB, Visual Studio, and VEE.
Signal analysis software
Provides measurements for analog demodulation, noise figure, phase noise and others.
