NI Intermediate Frequency (IF) Transceivers

PXIe-5641R
Read the Product In-Depth
See specifications and architecture details for the NI PXIe-5641R

National Instruments intermediate frequency (IF) transceivers integrate digital signal processor (DSP)-optimized field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) with high-speed analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs). Combined with powerful software tools, NI IF transceivers provide a highly flexible yet cost-effective platform for custom software-defined radio, communication system prototyping, and signal intelligence applications. The latest transceiver from National Instruments, NI PXIe-5641R, includes the following:

  • Two synchronized inputs and two synchronized outputs
  • Built-in digital up- and downconverters
  • Xilinx Virtex-5 SX95T FPGA
  • PXI Express
