Description
The Part Number 778737-01 refers to an RF Upconverter, specifically the PXI-5610 model. This device is designed as a 2-slot, 3U PXI module, making it suitable for integration into PXI systems. It operates across a frequency range from 250 kHz to 2.7 GHz, with a bandwidth of 20 MHz continuous. The output power of the PXI-5610 can be adjusted from -145 dBm to +10 dBm, providing a flexible gain of 130 dB.
For precise operations, the device features a high-stability OCXO timebase with a stability of ±50 ppb, ensuring accurate frequency generation and modulation. It supports multiple reference clock sources, including a high-accuracy OCXO, an external reference clock, and the PXI backplane for synchronization within PXI systems. The manufacturer recommends a calibration interval of annually to maintain its performance and accuracy.
The PXI-5610 is designed to operate within a temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C and requires a warm-up time of 30 minutes to reach operational stability. It weighs 41.1 oz and has dimensions of 8.5 x 1.6 x 5.2 inches. Calibration services are available for this model, including options accredited by NIST for those requiring verified measurement accuracies.
Regarding software compatibility, the PXI-5610 works with several operating systems and development environments, including Windows 2000/NT/XP, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and is supported by NI-RFSG driver software and NI-TUNER. This broad compatibility ensures that users can integrate the upconverter into a wide range of applications and systems with minimal software constraints.
