Description
The Part Number 778283-01 is a high-performance component categorized under RF Downconverters. Known by its model PXI-5600, it is distinguished by its capability to handle real-time bandwidths up to 20 MHz. This device operates efficiently across a broad range, from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, ensuring its versatility in various applications.
Its noise density is impressively low, at < -140 dBm/Hz, and it boasts remarkable phase noise characteristics of < -94 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset. These features contribute to its high-quality signal processing capabilities. Timebase stability is another critical aspect, with the PXI-5600 maintaining a tight ±20 ppb, while frequency accuracy is also kept tight at ±50 ppb. Furthermore, it offers a spurious-free dynamic range of > 80 dB, making it suitable for demanding environments.
Amplitude error compensation is minimal, at < 0.2 dB over a 20 °C change, which is crucial for maintaining signal integrity over varying temperatures. To operate this device, specific software is required, including NI-RFSA 2.1, NIPXI-5600 Support driver, LabVIEW, LabWindows/CVI, and Microsoft C/C++. This ensures compatibility and ease of integration with various systems.
Connectivity is versatile, with connectors for FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, providing ample flexibility for different configurations. Additionally, the PXI-5600 requires a warm-up time of 20 minutes to reach operational stability, ensuring accurate and reliable performance thereafter.
