Description
The Part Number 199749D-02L refers to a high-performance RF Downconverter, specifically the model PXIe-5605. This downconverter is designed to operate over a wide Frequency Range from 20 Hz to 14 GHz, making it an incredibly versatile tool for various applications. It is compatible with several devices including the PXIe-5665 RF Vector Signal Analyzer, the PXIe-5653 Analog Signal Generator, and the PXIe-5622 IF Digitizer.
One of the key features of the PXIe-5605 is its exceptionally low Average Noise Level, which is -165 dBm/Hz at a 1 GHz carrier frequency. Additionally, it boasts a Phase Noise of -129 dBc/Hz, indicating its ability to maintain signal purity and integrity under various conditions. The device offers IF Filtering options, which can be automatically managed with NI-RFSA software, though manual selection is also possible for more controlled applications.
Regarding its filtering capabilities, the PXIe-5605 includes IF Bandpass Filters at 5 MHz, 300 kHz, and a Through option. The Through IP Bandpass Filter Bandwidth is nominally 80 MHz, but typically operates at 47 MHz with the pre-selector enabled. For more specific applications, the 5 MHz Filter provides a bandwidth of 5 MHz at -3 dB with a 190 MHz IF Output, while the 300 kHz Filter results in a 199 MHz nominal IF output frequency at -3 dB.
The unit is equipped with various Connectors, including RF IN, IF OUT, multiple LO IN and LO OUT ports for flexible connectivity. An External DC
