The preconfigured NI MIMO Test System helps you prototype up to 4x1, 3x2, 2x3, and 1x4 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) channels in a single PXI chassis. With the shared local oscillator (LO) architecture, you can achieve tight channel-to-channel synchronization. In addition, with the high-speed PXI Express backplane, you can stream signals to and from RAID disk drives.

Phase Coherent RF Vector Signal Analyzers (VSAs)
For multiple channels of RF signal acquisition, choose one PXIe-5663 RF vector signal analyzer and one or more PXIe-5663 MIMO extension kits. An example four-channel RF acquisition system will contain one PXIe-5663 VSA and three PXIe-5663 MIMO extension kits. Note that an 18-slot chassis is limited to 5 total RF channels.
