Model PXI-1410
PRESELECTOR MODULE
The PXI-1410 Preselector Module is a PXI
3U, 3-slot module that provides the necessary
input signal conditioning and routing to form a
complete RF PXI downconverter. When integrated with complementary modules, it enables
down conversion over the 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz
frequency range. The PXI-1410 employs a 70 dB
(10 dB/step) input step attenuator that enables
a dynamic range of approximately +30 dBm to
-160 dBm. The module uses broadband switches
to distribute the incoming RF signal to other PXI
modules for further processing with minimal signal
degradation. In addition, the module contains an
electronically tuneable, 4-stage, YIG-tuned lter
(YTF) based RF-input pre-selector,
allowing for greater than 80 dB
