Description
The National Instruments PXIe-5698 PXI RF Preamplifier Module, part number 784096-01, is a versatile and high-performance single-slot PXI module that is compatible with the NI-5668R Vector Signal Analyzer. This module operates within a wide frequency range of 10 MHz to 26 GHz, and it provides a variable noise figure of ≤ 3.1 to ≤17.7, ensuring clear signal amplification across the spectrum.
Designed for precision and ease of use, the PXIe-5698 features 2.92 mm female connectors and can handle a maximum input voltage of ±10 V DC, with a maximum source voltage capacity of +28V DC. Users can benefit from its multiple modes of operation, which include a preamplifier mode for signal enhancement, a preamplifier bypass mode for direct signal passing, and an enable calibration tone mode for system verification, with a default center frequency set at 1 GHz.
An additional mechanical relay is incorporated for an RF signal bypass, allowing for system configuration without disconnection. Furthermore, the module is equipped with a noise source for noise figure measurement, although this feature is disabled by default. A fixed calibration tone frequency of 3.6 GHz is provided to ensure proper system calibration and performance validation.
