RF and Baseband Communications Instruments

Today's complex IF and RF systems require a flexible test platform to deliver reliable measurements from prototype to manufacturing. National Instruments modular instrumentation combines sophisticated industry-leading software with the latest precision measurement hardware to deliver a high performance platform for communications test from DC to 2.7 GHz with over 20 MHz of real-time bandwidth.

Accurate Hardware

National Instruments RF products come standard with an oven controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) delivering 50 ppb frequency accuracy for increased measurement certainty.

Flexible Software

With Signal Express, LabVIEW and NI TestStand software, use NI's Express technology and analysis functions to rapidly develop automated measurement systems for design, validation, or test that fit the specific needs of your application. With LabVIEW and the Modulation Toolkit, you have software tools to generate and analyze any standard-specific or custom digital communication system enabling quick and easy prototyping of emerging wireless technologies.

Tight Integration

Built on PXI - the industry standard for modular instrumentation - the tight hardware and software integration makes possible seamless hardware-in-the-loop signal generation and analysis capabilities.
