O VERV IE W Intr odu c tio n Pro d uct features The Agilent M9703A is a very fast versatile DC-coupled 12-bit wideband digital receiver/digitizer, providing exceptional measurement fidelity over multiple phase coherent channels. Based on the AXIe standard, offering eight acquisition channels in a single-slot card, it provides excellent channel density and flexible scalability. These features allow the implementation of a large number of high dynamic range, phase-coherent channels in a small volume, making the M9703A high-speed digitizer/wideband digital receiver ideal for multi-channel...

Agilent M9703A - 3

Product overview The M9703A is a flexible modular wideband digital receiver/ digitizer offering scalable features depending on application requirements. The standard configuration implements 8 channels of 12-bit resolution with DC to 650 MHz input frequency range (–3 dB analog bandwidth), and acquiring data at 1 GS/s. If higher speed is required, the -SR2 option enables the eight channels to sample at 1.6 GS/s. An interleave option (-INT) also allows two channels to be combined and reach 3.2 GS/s in 4-channel acquisition mode. For higher frequency signals, the -F10 option provides an...

Firmware options The M9703A wideband digital receiver/digitizer provides a range of front-end options to adapt the digitization to the particular application requirements. These options are divided in three categories: The M9703A high-speed digitizer provides various firmware options: • • • • • Bandwidth The instantaneous analog bandwidth is the –3 dB compression point of the analog front-end frequency response. The M9703A provides two levels of instantaneous analog bandwidth. The default -F05 option provides an input frequency range of DC to 650 MHz, especially suited for baseband...

EASY SET UP ... T ES T ... A N D M A I N T E N A N C E , CON TIN UED Firmware options, The wideband capability of the M9703A, combined with its excellent signal sensitivity and dynamic range is a step toward a fully digital receiver, by reducing or suppressing the analog mixer stages. As an example, the M9703A wideband digital receiver/ digitizer can directly digitize DVB-T signals, especially interesting for passive radar applications. When combined with the M9362A-D01 quad-channel downconverter, the M9703A allows capture and analysis of wideband signals up to 50 GHz. These three functions...
