Keysight M9374A PXIe VNA, Two-Port Vector Network Analyzer, 300 kHz to 20 GHz

Description

A production rack has little spare room, yet every station still needs S-parameter data. The Keysight M9374A PXIe VNA, short for vector network analyzer, fits a full two-port instrument into a single PXIe slot. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, with service on request.

What one slot delivers

Treat these as the published figures for the model. However, installed hardware, options and licenses change what a given unit delivers, so the quote for the exact configuration has the final word.

Growing from two ports to a multisite rack

Several synchronized modules can work together, so a two-port analyzer grows into a multiport or multisite system. PXIe also lets those modules share a controller and trigger lines. As a result, a rack built on the Keysight M9374A PXIe VNA stays compact and easy to automate. A short sweep and low trace noise then help throughput and repeatability on the line.

Jobs that suit the M9374A

• Multiport antenna, filter and cable measurements.
• Parallel production tests on components, because the modules share one chassis.
• Compact validation racks for aerospace and communications hardware.
• Automated S-parameter and time-domain runs from a script.

Itemize the whole system, not just the module

A module alone does not measure anything. The chassis, controller, cables, calibration kit, synchronization hardware and software each need a line in the quote. So ask Lost in HCM to list them separately, and tell them the port count and connector type at your device. That way, you compare offers on equal terms.

Rent for a program, buy for the line

Rental suits a defined validation program, an urgent replacement or a burst of production demand. A purchase makes more sense once the same rack runs every week. In both cases, say whether new or used equipment is acceptable.

M9374A questions

How many ports does one module have?

One module has two built-in ports and one internal source. For more ports, Keysight describes synchronizing several modules.

Can I rent it without a chassis?

Tell Lost in HCM whether you already own a PXIe chassis and controller. The quote then lists any missing hardware on separate lines.

How fast can it sweep?

The best 201-point sweep speed is 6 ms. Real sweep time depends on your settings, so confirm it against your test plan.
