Description
The NI PXI-5600 RF Downconverter, with a part number of 778283-01, falls under the category of RF Downconverters. This specific model is designed exclusively for downconversion applications, providing a bandwidth capability of 20 MHz real-time. It operates over a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, ensuring versatility in various RF applications.
One of the key specifications of the PXI-5600 is its noise density, which is less than -140 dBm/Hz, indicating a low noise floor for clearer signal processing. It also boasts an Intermodulation Spurious-Free Dynamic Range of more than 80 dB, ensuring minimal intermodulation distortion in the signal output.
The device exhibits exceptional phase noise performance, with a phase noise of less than -94 dBc/Hz at a 10 kHz offset. This specification is crucial for applications requiring high-frequency stability and low phase noise. Additionally, the PXI-5600 offers timebase stability of ±20 ppb and timebase accuracy of ±50 ppb, ensuring precise frequency measurements and stability over time.
Support is provided through NI-RFSA 2.1 and NIPXI-5600 Support driver software, facilitating integration and ease of use. A variety of connectors are available, including FREQ REF IN, 10 MHz OUT, PXI 10 MHz I/O, OUTPUT, and INPUT, offering flexibility in connectivity options for different applications.
The PXI-5600 requires a warm-up time of 20 minutes to reach operational stability and is recommended to undergo calibration periodically, either annually or every two years, to maintain accuracy and performance. This downconverter is an essential tool for professionals in the field requiring high-performance RF downconversion capabilities.
