National Instruments has announced the launch of its second vector signal transceiver(VST)
NI PXIe-5645R built on a software-designed architecture that engineers can modify with LabVIEW to meet their specific needs. The new vector signal transceiver adds differential or single-ended I/Q interface to test both the RF and baseband signals of a device with a single instrument using the latest PC and FPGA technologies. It also combines a vector signal generator and a vector signal analyzer with a user-programmable FPGA for real-time signal processing and control.
NI PXIe-5645R has 80 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and 24 channels of high-speed digital I/Q. It can add Baseband I/Q interface with 16-bit data sampled at 120 MS/s with up to 80 MHz of complex bandwidth.
Jin Bains, Vice President of RF R&D, NI said, “The software-designed architecture of the new NI PXIe-5645R vector signal transceiver provides users with unprecedented flexibility for applications such as RF transceiver baseband test.”
