VSA and VSG Introduction
Introduction
The scope of this Startup Guide is to detail the processes of receiving and installing
the modules and cables that compose the Keysight M9381A PXIe Vector Signal
Generator and the Keysight M9391A PXIe Vector Signal Analyzer in both single
channel and multi-channel configurations.
Steps 1 - 7 cover the basics of setting up and configuring both a single and a multi-
channel VSA and VSG system. Both the number and mix of VSGs and VSAs used in
a system is variable. In addition, the configuration of the synthesizer module being
used as the local oscillator (LO) can be either shared or independent. Setting up,
aligning, and operating a multi-channel system manually is time consuming. To
make this process easier, a Multi-Channnel PXIe Config Utility program has been
developed and is provided on the installation CD and is available for download.
Additionally, installing the required software is documented. If you have any
questions after reviewing this information, please contact your local Keysight
Technologies Inc. representative or contact us through our website at
Keysight Technologies is changing the color of the front panel of its products.
During the transition to new colors, you might receive modules that do not
match the pictures in the documentation. These products work the same as
they did before the color change and no action is required.
