The NI PXI-5660 is a modular 2.7 GHz RF vector signal analyzer (VSA) optimized for automated test. It provides high-throughput RF measurements in a compact, 3U PXI package. The PXI-5660 features a wide real-time bandwidth, a highly stable timebase, and flexible software tools that can handle measurement applications ranging from component characterization in R&D to the remote monitoring of RF navigation systems deployed in the field.

The NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit for NI LabVIEW and LabWindows™/CVI accompanies the PXI-5660, providing common measurements such as power spectrum, peak power and frequency, in-band power, adjacent-channel power, and occupied bandwidth.

The combined functionality of the PXI-5660 and the Spectral Measurements Toolkit delivers a highly flexible and powerful solution for scientific research, communications, consumer electronics, aerospace/defense, and semiconductor test applications as well as for emerging areas such as software-defined radio (SDR), radio-frequency identification (RFID), and wireless sensor networks.

You need a cable to transmit signals between your device and an external module.
The chassis provides rugged, modular housing for the controller and modules and contains the high-performance PXI backplane, which includes the system's data, timing, and triggering buses.
The controller runs your application and interfaces with your PXI modules.
You need software to interface with your hardware and to collect, analyze, present, and store your measurements. This board is compatible with a variety of programming languages, including LabVIEW, C/C++, Visual Basic, and .NET. LabVIEW provides the easiest integration with all of your NI hardware and is recommended to maximize your hardware investment.
