13-GHz PXI digitizer

The new 3036 RF digitizer module, an addition to the PXI 3000 Series, operates over 250 kHz to 13 GHz with up to 90-MHz digitized -1-dB bandwidth and 13-bit ADC resolution. It supports high-speed frequency switching in less than 325 µs. The 3036 is used with a 3010 Series synthesizer module to provide precision conversion of RF signals into digital IF or I and Q sample data. This combination of modules requires only four slots (three slots for the 3036 and one slot for the 3010) to minimize the overall test system footprint. The flexible PXI Studio software application supplied as standard with the 3036 offers vector signal analysis of complex modulated signals.
