Description
The PXIe-5605 is a highly specialized RF Downconverter, identified by the part number 199614B-01L. It operates across a broad frequency range from 20 Hz to 14 GHz, making it versatile for a wide array of RF applications. This device is particularly noted for its exceptional performance characteristics, including an average noise level of -165 dBm/Hz at a 1 GHz carrier frequency and a phase noise of -129 dBc/Hz, which ensures high fidelity in signal processing and analysis.
The PXIe-5605 is equipped with multiple IF Bandpass Filters, specifically at 5 MHz, 300 kHz, and Through, offering flexibility in selecting the desired signal bandwidth for a given application. The through IP bandpass filter has a bandwidth of 80 MHz (nominal) at -6 dB, while the outputs for the 5 MHz and 300 kHz filters produce nominal IF frequencies of 190 MHz at -3 dB and 199 MHz at -3 dB, respectively.
Connectivity options are extensive, including RF IN, IF OUT, LO1 IN, LO2 IN, LO3 IN, LO1 OUT, LO2 OUT, and LO3 OUT connectors, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of external devices and systems. Moreover, the device supports an External DC Block at the RF IN connector, enhancing its utility and integration capabilities.
Despite its advanced features, the PXIe-5605 has been announced as Obsolete; however, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring that users can continue to leverage its advanced capabilities in their RF signal processing and analysis tasks.
