PXI Modules
3030A Wideband RF Digitizer
Fully featured wideband PXI RF Digitizer module for complex signal analysis
applications in communicaations system test
•
•
Frequency range 330 MHz to 3 GHz
Their functionality and performance are ideally matched to the
needs of RF test systems for manufacturing or design verification.
36 wide MHz digitized corrected band-
width
The 2 slot wide 3030A frequency down converts and digitizes RF sig-
nals in the range 330 MHz to 3 GHz providing an instantaneous
analysis bandwidth of up to 36 MHz. The single slot wide 3010 / 3011
RF Synthesizer module provides the low phase noise, frequency agile
local oscillator input to the RF digitizer.
•
14 bit A/D resolution with 103.68 MHz
sample rate
•
•
75 dB spurious free dynamic range
75 dB intermodulation free dynamic
range
The 3030A offers high linearity, low noise and excellent level accura-
cy performance making it especially suited for the analysis of WLAN,
WMAN and 2G / 3G cellular radio signals. The 3030A outputs
amplitude and phase corrected digital IF or IQ data samples with an
absolute amplitude accuracy of better than 0.45 dB (typically 0.3 dB).
Correction ensures amplitude flatness is maintained better than
0.25 dB across 33 MHz bandwidth with phase compensation better
than 0.03 radians pk-pk.

Digital IQ or digital IF output
The Aeroflex PXI Studio application software provides a basic
framework for vector signal analysis. As standard PXI Studio sup-
ports hardware configuration, control and display of IQ data in vari-
ous domains ideal for general purpose testing and alignment of radio
communications transmitters and components. As they become
available, optional measurement library plugins to the basic software
can then easily be added. Plugin libraries integrate existing .dll
measurement library options within the PXI Studio framework
thereby providing an intuitive API and a highly flexible graphical user
interface. Plugin support of specific communications system
personalities will extend to include GSM/EDGE, UMTS/HSUPA
UL, cdma2000/1xEV-DO reverse link, WLAN and WMAN (WiMAX)
signal analysis in additon to general purpose Spectrum Analysis.

Analyzing RF communciations signals has
never been more flexible
The combination of PXI modules 3030A and 3010
form a compact 3U high precision RF Digitizer
occupying just 3 slots. Together with measure-
ment application software supplied they provide
first class vector signal analysis of RF signals.
