National Instruments PXI-5660

The National Instruments PXI-5660 is a high-performance PXI Vector Signal Analyzer designed for applications requiring advanced RF testing and measurement. Operating within a frequency range of 9 kHz to 2.7 GHz, this modular analyzer is housed in a compact 3U PXI chassis and offers a bandwidth of 20 MHz. It features a 14-bit resolution and ensures superior measurement throughput, making it ideal for both research and development as well as automated testing environments. The PXI-5660 can effectively capture a broad spectrum of signal levels, ranging from +30 dBm to below -130 dBm, with configurable input attenuation of up to 50 dB in selectable 10 dB steps.

This module is available in several configurations, including part numbers 778284-01 and 778284-02, which offer 32 MB and 64 MB of memory, respectively. Additionally, part numbers 778284-21 and 778284-22 feature the same memory capacities but include the PXI-5690 RF Preamplifier for enhanced functionality. Integrated with the NI Spectral Measurement Toolkit for LabVIEW and LabWindows/CVI, the PXI-5660 supports a variety of common measurements, such as power spectral density, total power, and adjacent channel power, making it versatile for use in diverse fields including telecommunications, consumer electronics, aerospace and defense, and semiconductor testing.

With the benefit of a stable time base and flexible software tools, the NI PXI-5660 provides a powerful solution for emerging technologies like software-defined radio (SDR), radio frequency identification (RFID), and wireless sensor networks. Comprehensive user and maintenance manuals are available for download, and inquiries for pricing can be directed to a sales representative. The product is backed by a 2-3 year warranty, ensuring reliable operation over an extended period.
