Description
The Part Number 199414D-01L identifies a specific model of RF Downconverters, known as the PXIe-5605. This device operates within a Frequency Range of 20 Hz to 14 GHz, making it versatile for a wide range of applications. It boasts an Average Noise Level at 1 GHz Carrier of -165 dBm/Hz, ensuring high-quality signal processing with minimal noise interference.
Moreover, the Phase Noise at 10 kHz Offset is rated at -129 dBc/Hz, further highlighting the device’s capability to maintain signal integrity. The PXIe-5605 is equipped with multiple IF Bandpass Filters, including options for 5 MHz, 300 kHz, Through (80 MHz nominal, 47 MHz typical with pre-selector). This allows for flexible signal processing and adaptation to different signal environments.
The Nominal Output IF Frequency is set at 190 MHz when using the 5 MHz filter, and 199 MHz with the 300 kHz filter. Connection to other equipment is facilitated through various Connectors including RF IN, IF OUT, LO1 IN, LO2 IN, LO3 IN, LO1 OUT, LO2 OUT, and LO3 OUT.
Additionally, the device supports the use of an External DC Block, specifically an SMA DC block at the RF IN connector, enhancing its versatility and ease of integration into various setups. Despite its Obsolete Status as announced by National Instruments, it remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring continued support for users of this sophisticated RF downconverter.
