PXIe-5646

Part number(s):
784759-01
782952-01

6 GHz, 200 MHz Bandwidth, RF PXI Vector Signal Transceiver

Overview

The PXIe-5646 combines a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer with FPGA-based real-time signal processing and control into a single device, also known as a VST. Because of this software-designed approach, the PXIe-5646 features the flexibility of a software defined radio architecture with RF instrument class performance. The additional bandwidth of the PXIe-5646 enables you to test wireless and cellular standards such as 802.11ac 160 MHz and LTE-A carrier aggregation while leveraging the latest performance-enhancing processing techniques such as digital predistortion.
