NI PXI-5661

2.7 GHz RF Vector Signal Analyzer – Digital Downconversion

  • 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz with 20 MHz real-time bandwidth
  • High-stability timebase (10 MHz OCXO)
  • >80 dB spurious-free dynamic range and +30 dBm full signal input range
  • 14-bit resolution, 100 MS/s digitizer
  • 64 MB or 256 MB memory

The National Instruments PXI-5661 is a modular 2.7 GHz RF vector signal analyzer with wide real-time bandwidth. Optimized for automated test in a compact, 3U PXI package, the NI PXI-5661 is ideal for high-throughput RF acquisition and measurements. The 20 MHz wide onboard quadrature digital downconverter (DDC) significantly reduces the required dataset size and time to transfer waveform data to the host controller or PC. This functionality is ideal for engineers who need data streaming with rapid response times for software-defined radio (SDR), real-time signal processing, or faster transfer times for spectral monitoring applications. The module is compatible with Conduant StreamStor devices, enabling terabyte recording.

The PXI-5661 includes a frequency-selective burst trigger ideal for communications applications and signal intelligence. It features a highly stable timebase and flexible software tools, including Express VIs for NI LabVIEW software.

The NI Spectral Measurements Toolkit, for LabVIEW and LabWindows™/CVI, is shipped with the PXI-5661, providing common measurements such as power spectrum, peak power and frequency, in-band power, adjacent-channel power, and occupied bandwidth. Additionally, it offers vector capabilities, such as 3D spectrograms, I/Q data for modulation analysis, and analog modulation analysis functions. You also can use the PXI-5661 with the NI Modulation Toolkit to analyze custom and standard modulation formats.
