Dual-channel, differential I/Q signal generation 16-bit resolution, 400 MS/s sampling rate per channel 98 dB close-in SFDR at 1 MHz 145 MHz analog bandwidth for 290 MHz bandwidth RF signals ±0.15 dB flatness to 120 MHz with digital flatness correction -160 dBm/Hz average noise density 25 ps channel-to-channel skew 128 or 512 MB of deep onboard memory Continuous data streaming >600 MB/s from host <-140 dBc/Hz phase noise density
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.
