National Instruments PXIe-5630 PXI Vector Network Analyzer

The PXIe-5630 (Part Numbers: 781219-01 and 781219-02) Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) has the following features:

·         10 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range

·         >100 dB dynamic range

·         <-123 dBm/Hz noise floor

·         -30 dBm to +5 dBm power range

·         <400 s/point sweep speed over 3,201 points

·         Configure Complete PXI System

·         Automation precision calibration

The National Instruments PXIe-5630 is designed to address the demands of engineers to integrate the analysis of a vector network into their systems without incurring the costs of regular bench top VNAs. This model is a 2-port VNA that provides exceptional phase noise and sample jitter.

Using its soft front panel which provides a fully-featured interface, the NI PXIe-5630 VNA can be controlled interactively. This model can also be programmed for NI LabVIEW software and NI LabWindows/CVI ANSI C development environments by using APIs.

The NI PXIe 5630 features a frequency resolution of 10 Hz and a power step resolution of 0.5 dB on the port 1 source. For this device, the input impedance is at 50W and the input range is +3 dBm to –10 dBm sine wave. The ambient temperature range of this device is from 0 °C to 55 °C in an operating environment, whereas it is –41 °C to +71 °C in a storage environment. The NI PXIe-5630 VNA is a 3U, two slot, PXI Express module, with dimensions of 8.5 in. × 1.6 in. × 5.1 in. This VNA weighs 24.0 oz.
