The FED3506 down-converter accepts RF input signals ranging from 20 MHz to 6000 MHz. It also adopts a PXIe bus interface with a 3U form factor occupying two slots, allowing efficient system integration and control within PXIe platforms. The unit is supported by PXI instrument drivers with C/C++ APIs for parameter configuration, functional control, status monitoring, and reference clock configuration, along with Windows 10 driver support.
