National Instruments PXIe-5667 spectrum analyser

The National Instruments PXIe-5667 3.6 and 7 GHz spectrum-monitoring receivers feature dynamic range of over 110 dB and distortion performance with third-order intercept (TOI) of over 17 dBm.

Built on the high-performance NI PXIe-5665 vector signal analyser (VSA) architecture, the wideband receiver is suitable for over-the-air RF measurements.

In addition to analog specifications, the device enables users to perform real-time signal analysis and advanced signal processing in user-configurable FPGA hardware.

The device addresses radio monitoring, interference detection, spectrum regulation and related applications in line with ITU recommendations.

Coupled with the company’s FlexRIO and the LabVIEW FPGA Module, the device can perform real-time analysis of RF signals such as continuous spectrum monitoring, spectrogram and advanced signal processing in the FPGA hardware without the latency of moving data to and from the host controller or PC. Available LabVIEW FPGA IP includes digital down-converter channelisation, frequency-hop detection and the ability to uncover spectrum mask violations.
