Recommended MIMO Configurations
2x2: One PXIe Chassis
This configuration consists of two Keysight M9381A PXIe Vector Signal Generators and two Keysight
M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzers in a single M9018A PXIe Chassis - with or without an
M9036A/M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller. A single Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference is
shared across all sources and receivers. This configuration occupies 16 slots. Refer to
in a Single PXIe Chassis (page 22)
3x3: Two PXIe Chassis
The first configuration consists of three sources (M9381A) in a single M9018A Chassis - with or without an
M9036A/M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller. A single Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference is
shared across all sources. Refer to
3x3 MIMO Configuration in Two PXIe Chassis with External Controller (page 23)
.
The next configuration consists of three receivers (M9391A) in a single M9018A Chassis - with or without an
M9036A/M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller. A single Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference is
shared across all receivers. Refer to
3x3 MIMO Configuration in Two PXIe Chassis with External Controller (page 23)
.
4x4: Two PXIe Chassis
The first configuration consists of four sources (M9381A) in a single M9018A Chassis - with or without an
M9036A/M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller. A single Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference is
shared across all sources. Refer to
4x4 MIMO Configuration in Two PXIe Chassis with External Controller (page 25)
.
The next configuration consists of four receivers (M9391A) in a single M9018A Chassis - with or without an
M9036A/M9037A PXIe Embedded Controller. A single Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference is
shared across all receivers. Refer to
4x4 MIMO Configuration in Two PXIe Chassis with External Controller (page 25)
.
For all MIMO configurations, the Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference should be installed in slot 10 (the
timing slot).
For all MIMO configurations, the Keysight M9300A PXIe Frequency Reference 100 MHz reference cables must
be of equal length. The appropriate number of 8121-2175 cables are provided.
