“`html
The National Instruments PXIe-3620 RF Upconverter / Downconverter Module, with a part number of 159813B-01L, is a state-of-the-art mmWave Transceiver System designed for advanced applications. This module stands out in its category by offering a comprehensive solution for both upconversion and downconversion processes.
The PXIe-3620 model operates within a transmitter frequency range of 8.5 to 13.5 GHz, ensuring broad applicability across various mmWave applications. Additionally, it boasts a receiver instant bandwidth of 2 GHz, accommodating a wide range of signal bandwidths for efficient signal processing.
One of the module’s key features is its LO System, which supports MIMO applications, LO sharing, and is compatible with an external LO source. The compatible external LO source is the PXIe-5653, further enhancing the module’s versatility in complex RF setups. For applications requiring high power, the module is compatible with the MMRH-3647 High Power MMWave TX Adapter (Part number: 784458-01), ensuring seamless integration into demanding environments.
The phase noise performance of the PXIe-3620 is exceptional, being 20 log10(x) dB greater than normal, where x is the LO1 multiplication factor (typically 8 or 6). This feature ensures high fidelity signal processing and transmission, critical for precision applications.
For interfacing, the module is equipped with 50 Ω SMA female IF Interface Connectors and 50 Ω MMPX female LO1 Interface Connectors (LO1 TX/RX IN and OUT), facilitating easy and reliable connections. Additionally, the LO2 Interface Connectors further expand the module’s compatibility and integration capabilities.
Compatible modules include the PXIe-3610 (AWG) and PXIe-3630 (Digitizer), allowing users to build a comprehensive, integrated system for advanced RF and mmWave research, development, and testing.
