National Instruments PXIe-5611 I/Q Modulator Module

The PXIe-5611 (Part numbers: 780277-01, 780277-11) is an I/Q Modulator Module. The NI PXIe-5611 module functions as a part of the PXIe-5673E Vector Signal Generator Module. Part number 780277-01 of the PXIe-5611 represents the 6.6 GHZ IQ Modulator, while part number 780277-11 represents the 6.6 GHZ IQ Enhanced Modulator. The PXIe-5673E additionally includes the PXIe-5450/5451 Waveform Generator and the PXIe-5650/5651/5652 RF Analog Signal Generator. The NI PXIe-5673E has 1 output channel, 128 MB, 512 MB, or 2 GB of onboard memory, and 100 MHz bandwidth. The PXIe-5611 module is designed and manufactured by National Instruments. This I/Q Modulator Module is run using the NI-RFSG 1.6 driver software which can be programmed with software packages or application development environments (ADEs) such as LabVIEW, LabWindows, and C/C++. The NI PXIe-5611 module is used with Windows Vista/XP/7 operating systems. This module is inserted into a PXI Express slot.

The frequency range of this I/Q Modulator Module is 50 MHz to 6.6 GHz. The National Instruments PXIe-5611 utilizes 0.6 A current at +3.3 VDC. For this specification, power is typically 10.5 W. The RF output of the NI PXIe-5611 module is 1 dB typical, and a maximum of +19 dB. The DC input power is ±5 VDC, maximum. This module has eight SMA female connectors and two multicolor LEDs on the front panel.

The National Instruments PXIe-5611 I/Q Modulator Module can be calibrated if NI-RFSG version 1.6 or later is installed on the calibration system. NI-RFSG driver software has all the Vis needed for calibration. This module has a calibration interval of one year recommended. However, if your application demands greater accuracy, the module can be calibrated more often.

The NI device weighs 20 oz, and measures 8.5 x 0.8 x 5.1 in. in physical dimensions. It has recommended operating and storage temperature ranges of 0 °C to 55 °C and -40 °C to 71 °C respectively, non-condensing operating and storage humidity ranges of 10% to 90% and 5% to 95% respectively, operating and non-operating random vibrations of 0.3 grms and 2.4 grms respectively–all at a frequency range of 5 to 500 Hz. The module is designed to comply with the following electrical safety standards: IEC 61010-1, EN 61010-1, UL 61010-1, and CSA C22.2 No. 61010-1.
