Description
The 779670-01 is a model PXI-5651 signal generator that falls under the category of Signal Generators. This instrument is designed to cover a wide frequency range from 50 MHz to 3.3 GHz, with frequency steps that are typically 1 Hz or less, allowing for precise signal generation and modulation.
One of the key features of this signal generator is its low phase noise, which is rated at -110 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset. This indicates a high signal purity, making the PXI-5651 suitable for a variety of sensitive applications. The device supports several modulation types including FM, 2-FSK, and OOK, providing flexibility in generating different signal types. Additionally, it can produce modulating waveforms such as sine, triangle, square, 31-order PRBS, and user-defined 1020-bit patterns, further enhancing its versatility.
The amplitude control range of the PXI-5651 is quite extensive, offering up to 100 dB of adjustment. This feature, combined with an ALC (Automatic Level Control) frequency response that extends from a few kHz to greater than 3.3 GHz, ensures precise control over the signal output. The instrument is driven by NI-RFSG driver software, which facilitates easy integration and control within test setups.
Applications for the PXI-5651 include jolt stimulus response and use as a tracking generator. These applications benefit from the device’s high precision and wide range of functionalities, making it an essential tool for engineers and technicians working in various fields of electronics and communication.
