The NI PXIe-5450 is a 16-bit, 400 MS/s, dual-channel arbitrary waveform generator optimized for I/Q communications signals. Each of the differential outputs features 98 dB of close-in spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) at 1 MHz (without harmonics), better than -140 dBc/Hz phase noise density at 10 MHz (1 kHz offset), and less than 25 ps channel-to-channel skew. The NI PXIe-5450 is the ideal instrument for testing devices with I/Q inputs, or as the baseband component of an RF vector signal generator. It also features onboard signal processing (OSP) functions that include pulse shaping and interpolation filters, gain and offset control, and a numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) for frequency shifting. Common applications include prototyping, validating, and testing of semiconductor components and communications, radar, and electronic warfare systems.
