Description
The PXIe-5605 RF Downconverter, with a part number of 199414E-01L, is an advanced module designed for a wide range of applications. This model operates across an extensive frequency range from 20 Hz to 14 GHz, accommodating various RF signal processing tasks. The device ensures exceptional signal fidelity, evidenced by an average noise level at 1 GHz being as low as -165 dBm/Hz and a phase noise at 1 GHz reaching -129 dBc/Hz.
It features several IF Bandpass Filters Types, including 5 MHz, 300 kHz, and Through, offering flexibility in signal conditioning. For applications requiring wide bandwidths, the Through IP Bandpass Filter provides a nominal bandwidth of 80 MHz and a typical bandwidth of 47 MHz with a pre-selector. When more selective filtering is needed, the 5 MHz Filter delivers a bandwidth of 5 MHz (nominal) at -3 dB, with an IF output frequency of 190 MHz. Additionally, the 300 kHz Filter offers a bandwidth of 199 MHz (nominal) at -3 dB, catering to applications demanding narrowband processing.
Connectivity is a key feature of the PXIe-5605, equipped with multiple connectors including RF IN, IF OUT, LO1 IN, LO2 IN, LO3 IN, LO1 OUT, LO2 OUT, and LO3 OUT. It also requires an external DC block at the RF IN connector, ensuring the integrity of the signal path. Despite being announced as obsolete by National Instruments, this model remains available at Apex Waves, providing a valuable resource for engineers in need of high-performance RF downconversion.
