The Keysight Technologies M9330A arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) is capable of creating

high-resolution waveforms for radar, satellite, and frequency agile communication systems. Each

channel of the M9330A operates at 1.25 GS/s and features 15 bits of vertical resolution giving de-

signers the most realistic, wideband waveforms available from a commercial AWG.

– 1.25 GS/s and 15 bits of vertical resolution per channel provides exceptionally realistic

wideband waveforms

– Dual output channels drive both single-ended and balanced designs without the need for baluns

or hybrids

– Extended waveform memory and advanced sequencing engine offers long scenario simulations

– Multiple module synchronization provides multi-emitter simulations

– Multiple programmatic interfaces enable easy integration into existing test environments

Generate wide bandwidth and wide dynamic range signals, simultaneously

The M9330A is a 4-slot 3U PXI module that offers dual differential output channels to drive both

single-ended and balanced designs. The AWG also supports advanced sequencing and triggering

modes to create event-based signal simulations. Multiple M9330A modules can be synchronized for

the generation of phase-coherent, multi-emitter scenarios. Waveform development tasks are simpli-

ied using the AWG’s numerous programmatic interfaces including complete instrument control from

the MATLAB command line and from LabView. When the M9330A is combined with a wideband I/Q

upconverter, modulation bandwidths of 1 GHz can be realized at microwave frequencies for authen-

Unprecedented

The M9330A gives designers access to the most

advanced Digital-to-Analog (DAC) technology avail-

able in a commercial AWG. Each module incorporates

two high-speed DACs to create 500 MHz of signal

bandwidth and ≤ –65 dBc spurious free dynamic range

(SFDR) across each channel. Users have the choice

of driving their designs differentially from the DAC out-

puts or single-ended through multiple signal-condition-

ing paths. Although some AWGs require users to make

a trade-off between the number of output channels

and differential outputs, the M9330A provides both –

allowing you to drive your designs and eliminating

the need for baluns or hybrids in the test path. In

addition, each channel can output waveforms as an

IF or as a baseband signal for I/Q upconversion.
