Description
The 778283-01 is a model PXI-5600 RF downconverter that falls under the category of RF Downconverters. This device is capable of providing a real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. It operates over a frequency range from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, ensuring versatility across various RF bands.
One of its notable technical specifications is the average noise density, which is less than -140 dBm/Hz, and the phase noise, which is less than -94 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. These features contribute to the device’s ability to deliver high-quality signal processing capabilities. Additionally, the timebase stability is maintained at ±20 ppb, and the frequency accuracy is within ±50 ppb, ensuring precise operations.
The spurious-free dynamic range is greater than 80 dB, highlighting the device’s ability to maintain signal integrity. Moreover, it provides a measurement repeatability of less than 0.2 dB with a -30 dBm input, indicating its consistency in performance. Compatibility with NI-RFSA 2.1 and NIPXI-5600 Support driver software ensures ease of integration and operation within the National Instruments ecosystem.
It features multiple connectors, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, providing versatility in connectivity options. The required warm-up time for the device is 20 minutes, after which it is fully operational. For maintenance, a calibration frequency of either annually or every two years is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
