Description
“`
The PXIe-5442 is a high-performance waveform generator with an array of sophisticated features. It is designed to meet a variety of signal generation needs with its single output channel. The device offers an impressive bandwidth of less than 43 MHz at -3 dB, ensuring high-quality signal generation for a range of applications.
This model comes with a choice of output impedance, providing both 50 Ω and 75 Ω (nominal) options to accommodate different system requirements. With 16-Bit analog output resolution, the PXIe-5442 delivers precise and clear signal outputs.
An important feature of this model is its software-selectable analog filter, which allows for enhanced signal purity and flexibility in signal generation. Additionally, the device is equipped with two SMB jacks (bidirectional) on the front, enabling easy and efficient connectivity.
The PXIe-5442 also incorporates advanced technologies such as Onboard Signal Processing (OSP) and Synchronization and Memory Core (SMC) Technology, which significantly improve performance and versatility. The soft front panel feature provides a user-friendly interface for device control and monitoring.
It supports several programming interfaces, including LabVIEW, LabWindows™, and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET, offering flexibility in application development. The inclusion of the Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW and support for pulse-shaping filters further extend its capabilities in signal processing and generation.
Moreover, the PXIe-5442 can generate carrier frequencies up to 43 MHz with a fine resolution of 355 nHz, making it ideal for a wide range of modulation and communication protocols. The device is available under part numbers 780109-01, 780109-02, 780109-03, and 196749A-03, ensuring a variety of options for specific project needs.
