Description
The Part Number 778283-01 identifies a specific model of RF Downconverters, known as the PXI-5600. This device is designed as a 3U PXI Module, which is a standard size for PXI modules, allowing it to be easily integrated into PXI systems. The PXI-5600 features a real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz, supporting operations within a frequency range of 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz. This wide operating range makes it suitable for a variety of RF applications.
The device boasts an impressive noise density of < -140 dBm/Hz, ensuring that signal quality is maintained even in environments with low signal levels. Additionally, it offers an Intermodulation Spurious-free Dynamic Range of > 80 dB and Phase Noise of < -94 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, which are critical specifications for applications requiring high fidelity signal processing.
The Timebase Stability is rated at ±20 ppb, with a Frequency Accuracy of ±50 ppb, ensuring precise measurements and operations over time. For software compatibility, it supports NI-RFSA 2.1, NIPXI-5600 Support, which provides users with a range of tools for managing and utilizing the device effectively.
The PXI-5600 is equipped with multiple Connectors, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, INPUT, offering flexibility in connecting to various external devices and systems. It requires a warm-up time of 20 minutes to reach operational stability, and it is recommended to undergo a calibration period annually or every two years to maintain accurate and reliable performance.
