National Instruments PXIe-5644R/5645R RF vector signal transceivers

The NI PXIe-5644R/5645R vector signal transceivers (VST) combine a vector signal generator and vector signal analyser with a user-programmable FPGA into a single PXI modular instrument.

Engineers can transform the vector signal transceiver into a new instrument or enhance its existing functionality using NI LabVIEW system design software.

The VST is suitable for testing the latest wireless and cellular standards such as 802.11ac and LTE. The new vector signal transceiver adds a high-performance, differential or single-ended I/Q interface to test both the RF and baseband signals of a device with a single instrument for faster test times using the latest PC and FPGA technologies.

Features include: 65 MHz to 6 GHz frequency coverage, 80 MHz instantaneous RF bandwidth and 24 channels of high-speed digital I/Q; performance for testing wireless standards such as 802.11ac and LTE; fast measurements; built on FPGA technology programmable with LabVIEW; easily expands to support multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) configurations or parallel testing in a single PXI chassis.
