The Agilent M9351A PXI downconverter converts RF signals from 50 MHz to 2.9 GHz into baseband frequency signals for use with Agilent’s newest generation of PXI digitizers.

The built-in pre-amp enables very low level signal measurements, down to -160 dBm, and the built-in calibration simplifies system power budget calculations.
