Description
The PXI-5690, identified by part numbers 779465-01 and 190872E-01, is a state-of-the-art module designed for General Purpose RF Signal Conditioning. This device is a versatile, 2-channel solution that serves a broad frequency range of up to 3 GHz. Engineered for seamless integration, it occupies a 3U PXI, single-slot space, ensuring an efficient use of real estate in high-demand testing environments.
One of the key features of the PXI-5690 is its gain options, which include both fixed gain and configurable gain settings. Specifically, Channel 0 (CH 0) functions as a fixed gain preamplifier, boasting a substantial gain range of 30 dB. Meanwhile, Channel 1 (CH 1) offers a programmable preamplifier capability with selectable paths, further enhancing its adaptability. The primary path gain for CH 1 can be adjusted between -10 and +20 dB, while also offering a direct path that bypasses the attenuator-amplifier hardware, for scenarios where unaltered signal transmission is required.
Compatibility is another cornerstone of the PXI-5690’s design. It is tailored to work seamlessly with RF vector signal analyzers like the NI PXI-5660, making it an ideal choice for sophisticated RF signal conditioning tasks. Additionally, it introduces an innovative feature of automatic gain omission by connecting to a direct path, further simplifying the signal conditioning process and enhancing user convenience.
In summary, the PXI-5690 merges functionality, compatibility, and efficiency into a single-slot module, making it an invaluable tool for engineers and technicians working with advanced RF signal conditioning applications.
