National Instruments PXIe-5652 PXI RF Analog Signal Generator

The National Instruments PXIe-5652 (Part Number: 781217-01) is an Analog Signal Generator with continuous-wave generation capabilities and FM, 2‑FSK, or OOK modulation. This model can generate AM, FM, PM, and pulse wave signals continuously. The NI PXIe-5652 supports a frequency range from 500 kHz - 6.6 GHz, and a frequency resolution range from <3 Hz to 6 Hz, with a module width of 1. This model has a maximum output power of 12 dBm and a typical tuning time of 1.5 ms. It can be combined with other PXI modules to design automated test systems for radar, RF integrated circuits (RFICs), and automotive test applications.

The PXIe‑5652 provides exceptional phase noise and signal jitter in a single 3U PXI slot. This model features <2 ms Frequency Sweep Tuning Speed Typical, < 1 ppb Frequency Resolution, and -110 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 GHz, 10 kHz offset typical. The NI PXIe‑5652 features sine, triangle, and square frequency modulation waveform types. This model does not support an external modulation source. The modulation waveform frequency for this Analog Signal Generator ranges from 1 Hz to 100 kHz.

The PXIe-5652 RF Analog Signal Generator requires the installation Application Development Environment like LabVIEW or LabWindows/CVI. After that, the NI-RFSG driver software can be installed on the computer. The device has a RF OUT connector, RF IN/OUT connector, REF OUT2 connector. The REF OUT and REF OUT2 connector has a frequency of 10 MHz.

The PXIe-5652 PXI Analog Signal Generator features an Internal Reference Output frequency of 10 MHZ, an output impedance of 50 Ω, and an amplitude of 1 Vpk-pk into 50 Ω. The external Reference Input frequency is 10 MHz ±10 ppm, input impedance is 50 Ω, and amplitude is 0.2 Vpk-pk to 1.5 Vpk-pk into 50 Ω. The device has a warm-up time of 30 minutes, with an operational temperature range of 0 °C to 55 °C; and a relative humidity range of 10% to 90%. The NI PXIe-5652 is a 3U, one slot, PXI Express module with dimensions of 0.8 in. × 5.1 in. × 8.5 in., which weighs 14.6 oz.
