National Instruments PXIe-5645R vector signal transceiver

National Instruments has released its second vector signal transceiver, the NI PXIe-5645R, which is built on a software-designed architecture that engineers can modify with LabVIEW to meet their specific needs.

The vector signal transceiver adds a 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 PC and FPGA technologies.

Features include: 65 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, 80 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and 24 channels of high-speed digital I/Q; baseband I/Q interface with 16-bit data sampled at 120 MS/s with up to 80 MHz of complex bandwidth, configurable as differential or single ended; open, programmable FPGA that engineers can customise to add user-defined functionality; users can download prebuilt and modifiable IP for the most common applications.
