Description
The Part Number 778283-01 refers to a high-performance RF Downconverter, specifically the model PXI-5600. This device is designed to operate within a substantial Real-time Bandwidth Capacity of 20 MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications in RF communications and testing.
It features an extensive Operating Frequency Range from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, which allows it to cover most of the spectrum used in modern RF technologies. The device boasts an impressive Typical Noise Density of < -140 dBm/Hz, ensuring that the signal integrity is maintained even in the most demanding environments.
Moreover, the Intermodulation Spurious-free Dynamic Range is greater than 80 dB, providing clear, undistorted signals. The Typical Phase Noise is less than -94 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset, indicating a low level of phase fluctuation, which is crucial for maintaining the fidelity of the signal modulation and transmission.
The Timebase Stability of ±20 ppb and Frequency Accuracy of ±50 ppb further enhance the precision and reliability of the PXI-5600, ensuring that the frequency measurements and operations are highly accurate.
For software compatibility, it requires NI-RFSA 2.1 and the NIPXI-5600 Support driver, which ensures seamless integration and operation within the National Instruments ecosystem. The device is equipped with multiple Connectors, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, offering flexible connectivity options for various RF setups.
The recommended Warm-up Time is 20 minutes, ensuring that the device reaches its optimal performance levels before use. It is recommended to have a Calibration Period of at least once a year
