The National Instruments PXI-5671 module is a 3-slot RF vector signal generator that delivers signal generation from 250 kHz to 2.7 GHz, 20 MHz of real-time bandwidth and up to 512 MB of memory. The onboard quadrature digital upconverter significantly extends waveform playback time and reduces the time required to compute and download waveform data by computing the waveform data using the onboard field programmable gate array (FPGA). This functionality is ideal for engineers who require data streaming with rapid response time for software-defined radio (SDR) or faster download times for satellite radio applications. In addition, the NI PXI-5671 can generate custom and standard modulation formats including AM, FM, PM, ASK, FSK, MSK, GMSK, PSK, QPSK, PAM, and QAM.

The NI Modulation Toolkit for LabVIEW accompanies the PXI-5671, providing functions and tools for signal generation, analysis, visualization, and processing of standard and custom digital and analog modulation formats.

The combined functionality of the PXI-5671 and the modulation 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, radio-frequency identification (RFID), and wireless sensor networks.
