The PXIe‑5820 is the baseband model of the second-generation vector signal transceiver (VST) with 1 GHz of complex I/Q bandwidth. It combines a wideband I/Q digitizer, wideband I/Q arbitrary waveform generator, and high-performance user-programmable FPGA in a single 2-slot PXI Express module. You can use the VST for a variety of applications including baseband I/Q test of wireless and cellular chipsets; envelope tracking of digitally predistorted waveforms for power amplifiers; and the generation and analysis of new wireless standards such as 5G, 802.11ax, and LTE-Advanced Pro.
Combines a vector signal generator and vector signal analyzer with FPGA-based, real-time signal processing and control.
The PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) combines the flexibility of a software defined radio architecture and RF instrument class performance. You can use the VST to test a variety of cellular and wireless standards, and you can easily expand the small PXI Express form factor to support multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) configurations. The VST software is built on LabVIEW FPGA, and features several starting points for your application including application IP, reference designs, examples, and LabVIEW sample projects.
