Description
The National Instruments PXIe-3620 is a sophisticated RF Upconverter / Downconverter Module designed for advanced mmWave Transceiver Systems. With a part number of 159813B-01L, this module stands out in its category for its high performance and reliability. The PXIe-3620 is specifically engineered to cater to a wide range of applications, providing users with a versatile solution for their RF and microwave projects.
One of the notable features of the PXIe-3620 is its frequency range capability for TX (Transmit), which spans from 8.5 to 13.5 GHz. This wide range ensures that users can cover various applications and standards within the mmWave spectrum. Additionally, the module boasts an instant bandwidth (RX) of up to 2 GHz, providing ample bandwidth for even the most demanding receiver applications.
The PXIe-3620’s LO (Local Oscillator) System is designed to support MIMO (Multiple Input Multiple Output) applications and external LO sources, enhancing the module’s flexibility and adaptability in complex RF systems. This feature ensures that users can achieve optimal performance in a variety of configurations and setups.
Compatibility is another strength of the PXIe-3620, which works seamlessly with the MMRH-3647 (71-76 GHz MMWave TX Adapter). This compatibility underscores the module’s ability to function within a broader system, providing users with a comprehensive solution for their mmWave transceiver needs.
The phase noise performance of the PXIe-3620 is exceptional, with a specification of 20 log10(x) dB greater than normal, where x is the LO1 signal multiplication factor. Speaking of which, the LO1 Multiplication Factor is typically either 8 or 6, indicating the module’s ability to provide a clean and stable LO signal for various applications.
Connectivity options for the PXIe-3620 include the PXIe-3610 (AWG) and the PXIe-3630 (Digitizer) via analog I and Q differential
