Description
The Part Number for this device is 199610B-01L, which falls under the RF Downconverters category. Specifically, it is the model PXIe-5605, renowned for its broad Frequency Range that spans from 20 Hz to 14 GHz. This device is notable for its exceptionally low Average Noise Level, recorded at -165 dBm/Hz when operating at a 1 GHz carrier frequency. Additionally, its Phase Noise performance is impressive, measuring at -129 dBc/Hz.
When it comes to IF Bandpass Filters Types, the PXIe-5605 offers options for 5 MHz, 300 kHz, and Through filters, catering to a wide range of applications. The Through Filter Bandwidth is nominally set at 80 MHz, but can typically achieve 47 MHz when utilizing the pre-selector. For the 5 MHz Filter, the output IF frequency is nominally 190 MHz, whereas the 300 kHz Filter outputs at a nominal 199 MHz IF frequency.
Connectivity options are extensive, including RF IN, IF OUT, LO1 IN, LO2 IN, LO3 IN, LO1 OUT, LO2 OUT, and LO3 OUT connectors. An External DC Block is employed at the RF IN connector to enhance the device’s performance. Despite being Announced as Obsolete by National Instruments, the PXIe-5605 remains available for purchase and repairs through Apex Waves, ensuring its continued utility in sophisticated RF downconversion tasks.
