Description
Overview
The Keysight M8197A is a multi-channel synchronization module designed to coordinate and synchronize up to 4 arbitrary waveform generator modules for complex signal scenarios requiring precise alignment. It enables fully synchronous systems with up to 16 independent channels across multiple AXIe chassis, providing trigger distribution with ±20 ps delay accuracy.
Key Features
- Synchronization of up to 4 M8195A modules or equivalent AWG units
- Trigger delay accuracy of ±20 ps across multiple modules
- Skew repeatability of 2 ps between modules independent of sampling rate
- Skew resolution of 50 fs between modules for precise channel alignment
- Dynamic control input and general purpose output for M8195A coordination
- Supports up to 16 independent channels across a 5-slot AXIe chassis
- 1-slot AXIe module format for efficient system integration
Applications
- Multi-lane serial applications requiring phase coherent signal generation
- Phase coherent multi-channel I/Q signal generation up to 8 I/Q pairs
- Phase coherent multi-channel IF/RF signal generation with up to 16 independent signals
- MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output) system testing
- Physics and research applications requiring synchronized channels
