Description
The PXIe-5842 Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) is designed to meet the demands of advanced testing applications, including Semiconductor, Aerospace, Defense, and Cellular and Wireless Standards Testing, with emphasis on Wi-Fi 7 and 5G NR technologies. This high-performance equipment supports a variety of part numbers for different frequency variations, namely 788566-02 for 54 GHz, 788565-01 for 23 GHz, 788565-02 for 12 GHz, and 788565-03 for 8 GHz.
For connectivity, it utilizes a specific RF cable, part number 190412-04, which is a 3.5mm (M) to 3.5mm (M) cable. This cable is designed for connecting the PXIe-5842 REF IN to the PXIe-5655 REF OUT over a length of 0.102 meters. The PXIe-5842 requires a four-slot PXI Express for installation and is compatible with up to four PXIe-5842 VSTs in an 18-slot PXI chassis, making it a versatile and scalable solution for complex testing environments.
This VST stands out for its fast measurement speed, compact form factor, and high EVM performance, which are critical for achieving precise and efficient testing results. The signal processing is managed by an FPGA-based, real-time system, ensuring rapid data handling and processing capabilities. Furthermore, the PXIe-5842 supports a wide range of driver software including RFmx, NI-RFSG, and NI-RFSA, providing flexibility in how the device is controlled and integrated into existing systems.
Compatibility with various programming languages such as LabVIEW, LabWindows™/CVI, C/C++, and C# further enhances the usability of the PXIe-5842, allowing developers and engineers to leverage their existing knowledge and
