Description
The PXIe-5841 is a high-performance PXI Vector Signal Transceiver designed and manufactured by National Instruments. It is an essential tool for professionals and researchers working on testing wireless standards, including Wi-Fi and 5G NR signals. The device is compatible with LabVIEW FPGA, allowing for flexible and powerful programming and automation capabilities.
One of the key features of the PXIe-5841 is its RF Generator, which operates over a wide frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. It boasts an impressive instantaneous bandwidth of 1 GHz, and its typical tuning time is remarkably quick at 250 µS. These specifications ensure that the device can generate signals across a broad spectrum efficiently and accurately.
In addition to its generation capabilities, the PXIe-5841 is equipped with an RF Analyzer that matches the generator in both frequency range and instantaneous bandwidth, providing a comprehensive solution for signal analysis over the same 9 kHz to 6 GHz range. The analyzer’s high performance is complemented by its ability to measure Loopback Error Vector Magnitude with precision up to -48 dB, showcasing its accuracy in signal analysis.
The device also excels in baseband processing, featuring a 14-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter) and a 16-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). These components work together to support a baseband sample rate of 1.25 GS/s, enabling high-fidelity signal processing and generation.
For connectivity, the PXIe-5841 includes Front Panel Connectors, facilitating easy integration into existing systems and setups. Its part numbers, 785832-01 and 786982-01, identify specific configurations of the device, ensuring that users can select the version that best fits their needs.
Overall, the PXIe-5841 Vector Signal Transceiver stands out as a versatile and powerful instrument for a wide range of applications in wireless communication testing and research, representing National Instruments’ commitment
