Description
The National Instruments PXIe-5841 is a state-of-the-art PXI Vector Signal Transceiver designed for advanced applications in signal generation and analysis. This high-performance instrument is ideal for testing wireless standards, including Wi-Fi and 5G NR signals, offering a comprehensive solution for development and test engineers.
The PXIe-5841 model is compatible with LabVIEW FPGA, allowing for highly customizable operation and integration into existing test systems. Key features of this transceiver include fast measurement speed, a reduced noise ratio, and the ability to customize its operation to suit a wide range of testing requirements.
With part numbers 785832-01 and 786982-01, this transceiver is equipped with an RF generator and analyzer that both span a frequency range from 9 kHz to 6 GHz. The RF generator has an instantaneous bandwidth of 1 GHz and a typical tuning time of 250 µS, making it exceptionally responsive for testing needs. Similarly, the RF analyzer also boasts an instantaneous bandwidth of 1 GHz, ensuring wide coverage across different signal types.
The PXIe-5841 demonstrates impressive accuracy, with a loopback error vector magnitude of up to -48 dB, indicating high fidelity in signal processing. Its baseband characteristics are equally remarkable, featuring a 14-bit ADC (Analog-to-Digital Converter), 16-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter), and a sample rate of 1.25 GS/s (Giga-samples per second), providing high-resolution signal analysis and generation capabilities.
For physical connectivity, the front panel includes SMA female connectors for RF IN and RF OUT, ensuring seamless integration with external equipment and test setups. This design choice underscores the PXIe-5841’s utility in professional testing environments where reliability and precision are paramount.
