Introduction
M8009A Clock Generator
Keysight’s M8009A clock generator is designed as sample clock source for
the M8042A pattern generator. The M8009A clock module with integrated
jitter modulation operates from 4 to 60 GHz. It can be locked to external
reference clocks.
For the following functions a module option is required:
• Advanced jitter modulation for up to two channels, license
(M8009A-0G3)
• Reference clock multiplier, license (M8009A-0G6)
The M8009A is an instrument module that can be installed into the
M9505A 5-slot AXIe chassis. It comes as a 1-slot AXIe module, which
allows the M8009A plus up to two M8042A pattern generator modules to
be plugged into a single 5-slot AXIe chassis.

The following figure provides an overview of all inputs and outputs of the
M8009A clock module with jitter modulation:
