Description
The Part Number 778283-01 identifies a specific RF Downconverter, which is categorized under the model PXI-5600. This device is engineered to handle a real-time bandwidth of 20 MHz, ensuring efficient processing of signals within this range. It is capable of operating over a frequency range from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, making it versatile for a wide array of applications.
One of the key specifications of this RF Downconverter is its noise density, which is impressively low at < -140 dBm/Hz. Additionally, its phase noise performance is excellent, with values < -94 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. This indicates a high-quality signal processing capability with minimal interference.
The device also boasts a spurious-free dynamic range of > 80 dB, along with a timebase stability of ±20 ppb and a frequency accuracy of ±50 ppb. These features contribute to its reliable and precise operation. Moreover, the amplitude error compensation is less than 0.2 dB over a 20 °C change, ensuring consistent performance across various temperature conditions.
To operate this RF Downconverter, specific software is required, namely NI-RFSA 2.1 and the NIPXI-5600 Support driver. It comes equipped with multiple connectors including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, providing flexibility in connectivity options.
For optimal performance, a recommended warm-up time of 20 minutes is advised. To maintain its accuracy and reliability, a calibration period is recommended annually or every two years, depending on the usage and application requirements.
