National Instruments 783127-01 RF Analog Signal Generator

Part number 783127-01 from National Instruments is the descriptive part number for the version of the PXIe-5654 RF Analog Signal Generator that is equipped with 20 GHz of frequency. This high-performance and versatile device is specially designed to accommodate a variety of RF signal generating applications. The 783127-01 offers precise control with a resolution of 0.01 dB, making it an excellent choice for test setups of all sizes.

One of the standout features of the generator is fast switch, which allows the device to swiftly tune either to or from any frequency that is under 250 MHz. This feature can be found under the part number 783127-02. This number is used to differentiate the two versions- the typical settling time of the device is 1 ms, but the settling time when utilizing fast switch is 100 µs. Put more succinctly, the tuning ability of the 783127-02 serves to enhance both the responsiveness of the system and the effectiveness of the measurements.

The power that is required for the 783127-01 differs depending on the power rail that is being used. A maximum current of 2.5 A is drawn from a voltage of +3.3 V, while a maximum current of 3 A is drawn for a voltage of +12 V. The front panel of the 783127-01 features 2 LEDS indicators, providing a quick visual guide to the ACTIVE and ACCESS settings of the device. In addition, the front panel is equipped with both SMB and SMA connector types for easy and secure connectivity.
