NI PCI-5142

100 MS/s, 14-Bit Digitizer for Communications

  • 100 MS/s real-time, up to 2.0 GS/s equivalent-time sampling
  • 14-bit resolution on 2 simultaneously sampled channels
  • 100 MHz analog bandwidth with noise and antialias filters
  • Quadrature digital downconversion (DDC) with up to 40 MHz IF bandwidth
  • Baseband I/Q decimation with alias protection
  • General-purpose alias-protected decimation for all sample rates

The National Instruments PCI-5142 is a 100 MS/s digitizer with onboard signal processing (OSP). OSP functions include quadrature digital downconversion (DDC), real digital downconversion, and anti-aliasing filtering for baseband I/Q decimation and general-purpose applications. The NI PCI-5142 is ideal for communications applications, but is also suited for a wide variety of applications in automotive, scientific research, military/aerospace, and consumer electronics. With the large dynamic range, software-selectable 50 Ω or 1 MΩ input, ranges from 200 mV to 20 V, and ability to acquire more than half million waveforms in onboard memory, the PCI-5142 is ideal for both time and frequency-domain analysis.
