Description
The PXI-5690 is a high-quality General Purpose RF Signal Conditioning device, specifically designed as an RF Preamplifier. It boasts a versatile configuration, offering 2-channel support, thereby enhancing its utility in a broad range of RF signal enhancement applications. Its frequency range extends up to 3 GHz, ensuring compatibility with a wide spectrum of RF signals.
This device is packaged in a 3U PXI single-slot module, perfectly designed to fit into compact spaces without compromising on performance. It features both fixed gain and configurable gain options, providing flexibility in signal conditioning. Specifically, Channel 0 offers a fixed gain of 30 dB, while Channel 1 provides a programmable gain ranging from -10 to +20 dB, adjustable in 1 dB nominal steps. This allows users to fine-tune the gain according to specific requirements, thereby optimizing signal quality.
An innovative feature of the PXI-5690 is its Direct Path capability, which enables the bypassing of attenuator-amplifier hardware. This unique functionality ensures the integrity of the signal is maintained, especially in scenarios where amplification is not required. The device is designed to be compatible with RF vector signal analyzers, such as the NI PXI-5660, making it a versatile tool for various signal analysis tasks.
Additionally, the PXI-5690 is equipped with advanced features that automatically omit its gain, thereby enhancing both the dynamic range and sensitivity of the device. This makes it an invaluable asset for professionals requiring precise and reliable RF signal conditioning.
With part numbers 779465-01 and 190872E-01, this RF preamplifier stands out as a robust and efficient solution for a wide array of signal conditioning needs, embodying the perfect blend of performance, versatility, and reliability.
