Hello hany anees,

 

If you are using LabVIEW:

 

  1. Create an niRFSA Property Node on the block diagram
  2. Set the property to be IF Filter by navingating to Signal Path » Advanced » NI 5663 » IF Filter
  3. Create a constant or a control and select Bypass

how i can configure the 5601 inside the solution

in property node reference in and out , i want to connect them.

also when make the 5601 in bypass the IF output  = RFin - LO  or not

because of i want to output the IF = 70 M so i want to adjust the RFin and LO values to output the 70 M and 5601 to bypass to output this 70 M not only 187.5 M or 53 M

can acheive this or no proposed me with example

 I'm not quite sure what you mean by this statement.


The IF output will always be RFin +/- LO (depending on your LO injection method). You will want to externally filter the IF output if you choose to disable the IF filter.

 

Will you be providing a LO with a frequency of RF+/- 70 MHz?

OK already i changed the frequency for LO to ( RFin+70M ) (also i tried using (RFin-70M) )using the NI5652 and input it to (LO in) input on the NI5601 then i connected the analayzer on the (IFout) on NI5652 but i did not find the 70M, then i try using the property for disable the IF filter (ByPass the IF Filter) but also still did not obtain the 70M on the (IFout) on NI5652.

 

may be i could not make access for the NI5652 correct by using the LabView 

 

thank you for reply me

I was able to set this up without much trouble

 

LO = 123 MHz @ -30 dBm

LO settings.png

 

RF Test signal 43 MHz - 1 MHz @ 90 mV

RF settings.png

 

IF Output of 5601, The LO is in the center @ 123 MHz and the mixed signal can be seen at RF-IF (80 MHZ) and RF+IF(166 MHz)

Are you sure that your output signal isn't burried in the noise floor?

i want the RF frequency at around 2G not at 43 M so the LO frequency also around 2G with difference =70M that is the required IF at output of 5601 but there are another problem the IF filter must be disabled (ByPass)

In theory this should work just fine with the IF filters bypassed. I don't have another signal source that goes up to 2 GHz handy.

 

What output powers were you using for your IF and LO? What was the noise floor of the VSA you used? I also posted a VI in the last post, have you had a chance to use that, this would ensure that there is nothing wrong programatically.
