Description
The 778283-01 is a high-performance RF Downconverter, specifically the model PXI-5600, designed for a wide range of applications requiring efficient signal processing and analysis. This downconverter operates over an extensive frequency range from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, making it suitable for a variety of RF applications.
It features a real-time bandwidth of up to 20 MHz, providing ample scope for capturing and analyzing wideband signals. The device ensures high precision and stability with a time base stability of ±20 ppb and a frequency accuracy of ±50 ppb, offering reliable performance in demanding environments.
With a spurious-free dynamic range of greater than 80 dB and an average noise density of less than -135 dBm/Hz, the PXI-5600 excels in delivering clear, accurate signal conversion. Additionally, its phase noise performance is impressive, with a rating of -94 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, ensuring minimal signal degradation.
The device guarantees input signal measurement repeatability of less than 0.2 dB for a -30 dBm signal at 1 MHz bandwidth, along with amplitude error compensation of less than 0.2 dB over a 20 °C temperature change. This level of accuracy and stability is critical for advanced RF applications requiring consistent performance over time and varying conditions.
Compatibility with software such as NI-RFSA 2.1, the NIPXI-5600 Support driver, and the necessity for an Application Development Environment (ADE) like LabVIEW makes integration and development with the PXI-5600 straightforward for engineers and developers.
The unit is equipped with multiple connectors, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT,
