Specifies the RF path to use during calibration. This property is valid only during a calibration session. When you set this property, NI-RFSA does not select the RF path based on the downconverter center frequency.

The following RF bands and associated frequency ranges apply to the PXIe-5601:

  • RF band 1: 3 GHz to 6.6 GHz
  • RF band 2: 330 MHz to 3 GHz
  • RF band 3: 120 MHz to 330 MHz
  • RF band 4: 10 MHz to 120 MHz

Default Value: RF band 1

The following table lists the RF bands used by the remaining supported devices.

Device RF Band Frequency Range
PXIe-5603 RF band 1 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz
PXIe-5605 (low band signal path) RF band 1 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz
PXIe-5605 (high band signal path) RF band 2 3.6 GHz to 14 GHz
PXIe-5606 (low band signal path) RF band 1 20 Hz to 3.6 GHz
PXIe-5606 (high band signal path) RF band 2 3.6 GHz to 26.5 GHz
PXIe-5606 (low band signal path, 320 MHz IF filter) RF band 1 20 Hz to 3.41 GHz
PXIe-5606 (high band signal path, 320 MHz IF filter) RF band 2 3.41 GHz to 26.5 GHz

Default Value: RF band 1

Supported Devices: PXIe-5601, PXIe-5603/5605/5606, PXIe-5698
