Description
The PXIe-5605 is an RF downconverter with a part number 199614C-01L. This device is designed to operate within a frequency range of 20 Hz to 14 GHz, making it versatile for a wide range of RF applications. Its average noise level is impressively low, at -165 dBm/Hz when set at a 1 GHz carrier frequency, ensuring high-quality signal conversion.
Furthermore, the PXIe-5605 exhibits excellent phase noise performance, with a rating of -129 dBc/Hz. This feature is crucial for applications requiring high signal purity. To accommodate various signal processing needs, it includes IF bandpass filters at 5 MHz, 300 kHz, and a Through mode, allowing for flexible signal manipulation.
The device also boasts an 80 MHz nominal bandwidth for the through IP bandpass filter, which can typically achieve a 47 MHz bandwidth when used with a pre-selector. The nominal output IF frequency is 190 MHz for the 5 MHz filter and 199 MHz for the 300 kHz filter, facilitating efficient frequency translation.
Connectivity is robust, with connectors including RF IN, IF OUT, and multiple LO inputs and outputs, ensuring that the PXIe-5605 can easily integrate into a variety of RF systems. An external DC block is supported at the RF IN connector, enhancing the downconverter’s versatility. Despite its obsolete status, announced by National Instruments, the PXIe-5605 remains available at Apex Waves, providing a valuable resource for those in need of high-quality RF downconversion.
