Description
The RF Downconverter with part number 778283-01 is a high-performance component designed for sophisticated RF applications. This downconverter is identified by its model number, PXI-5600, and is an essential tool for engineers and technicians working in the RF domain.
The device offers a real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Its operating frequency range extends from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, allowing for versatile usage across various RF tasks. The noise density of this downconverter is impressively low at < -140 dBm/Hz, ensuring clear signal processing.
Another critical specification of the PXI-5600 is its phase noise, which is less than -94 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset, highlighting the device’s ability to maintain signal purity. The spurious-free dynamic range is greater than 80 dB, further emphasizing the downconverter’s high performance.
Regarding timebase stability, the PXI-5600 boasts a stability of ±20 ppb and an accuracy of ±50 ppb, ensuring precise operations. Users will need specific software to operate this device effectively, including NI-RFSA 2.1, the NIPXI-5600 Support driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Microsoft C/C++.
The device features multiple connectors, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, offering flexibility in connections. The warm-up time for the PXI-5600 is approximately 20 minutes, and it requires calibration either annually or every two years to maintain its accuracy and performance. Lastly, the dimensions of this downconverter are 3.9 x 6, compact
