The National Instruments USB-5683 RF Power Sensor Device is a robust solution designed for industrial applications, capable of delivering precise power measurements while minimizing the impact of external electromagnetic interference. This device is engineered to operate within the specified limits of electromagnetic compatibility when used with shielded cables and appropriate accessories. With a frequency range spanning from 10 MHz to 8 GHz, the USB-5683 excels in providing accurate root mean square (RMS) power measurements for wideband and complex waveform signals. It can handle input signals from -60 dBm to +20 dBm, with a maximum resolution of 0.01 dBm and an offset measurement range of -150 dBm to +100 dBm. The device supports measurement speeds up to 10,000 samples per second and offers three operational modes: continuous mode, time-slot mode, and scope mode, allowing for flexible measurement strategies. Additionally, the USB-5683 can be triggered both internally and externally. It operates with safety voltages of 5.5 V for the trigger input and ±20 VDC at the RF input port. The device has a typical current draw of 450 mA and dimensions of 4.33 x 1.77 x 1.1 inches, weighing approximately 0.88 lb. A calibration interval of one year ensures accuracy over time, and a warranty ranging from two to three years underlines the reliability of the product. For further information, including user and maintenance manuals, customers can access downloadable resources, and pricing details are available through a National Instruments sales representative. Part number for this product is 783985-01.
