Description
The PXI-5691 is a high-performance, General Purpose RF Sig Conditioning module, identified by part numbers 195812B-01L / 781035-01. This module is designed to fit into a single-slot 3U PXI chassis, making it a compact and efficient solution for RF signal conditioning.
It features 2-channel configuration capable of handling frequencies up to 8 GHz. Each channel is equipped with a unique combination of programmability and efficiency: one channel offers a programmable gain path while the other provides a fixed gain path, ensuring versatility in application.
The gain range on Channel 1 is an impressive +31.5 dB, with a precise gain step size of +0.5 dB. This allows for detailed control over signal amplification. Additionally, it boasts a maximum level settling time of just +4 µs on Channel 1, ensuring swift response to changes.
Accuracy is paramount in RF applications, and the PXI-5691 does not disappoint. It offers level calibration accuracy of ±0.9 dB across both channels, ensuring reliable performance. When it comes to power, this module can handle a typical absolute maximum input power of +30 dBm (for both channels) and delivers a maximum output power of +25 dBm on Channel 0.
Protection against reverse power is also considered, with Channel 0 capable of withstanding up to +20 dBm. Furthermore, it can tolerate a DC voltage at input of ±10 V typical on Channel 0, safeguarding the module against unexpected power variations.
The power requirements for this module are modest, needing only 2.1 W at 3.3 V, making it an energy-efficient choice for many RF signal conditioning applications.
