Description
The part number 198537A-01L (780587-93) represents a PXIe-2593, a model within the category of PXI Switches. This particular model is an RF Multiplexer Switch Module, designed to facilitate a wide range of switching needs. It operates with an impedance of 50 Ω, ensuring compatibility with standard RF systems.
The PXIe-2593 provides several configuration options, including an Unterminated Multiplexer, an Externally Terminated Multiplexer, and a Sparse Matrix. These options allow users to customize the module based on specific application requirements. The frequency range of this module extends from DC to >500 MHz, accommodating a broad spectrum of RF signals.
With a channel count of 16 channels, this switch module offers ample connectivity for complex setups. The Terminator Type is an External 50 Ω MCX, provided on half of the channels, enhancing the module’s flexibility in signal management. Configured as Quad 3×1 Multiplexers, it showcases the capacity to handle multiple signal paths efficiently.
The Minimum Switch Load is rated at 10 μA, 10 mV, while the Maximum RF Carry Power it can handle is 10 W up to 500 MHz (per channel). This indicates the module’s robustness in handling significant power levels over its operational bandwidth, which is less than 500 MHz.
Compatibility with other instruments is crucial for integration into existing setups. The PXIe-2593 is compatible with the NI PXI-5404 Frequency Generator and the NI PXI-5112 High-Speed Digitizer, making it a versatile choice for users looking to expand their test and measurement capabilities.
