National Instruments Introduces PXI Express Reconfigurable IF Transceiver for Software-Defined RF Test and Prototyping
National Instruments announced the NI PXIe-5641R RIO IF transceiver, the company’s most recent device for RF test. The NI PXIe-5641R is a dual-input, dual-output module that combines an intermediate frequency (IF) transceiver with reconfigurable I/O (RIO) capability using a Xilinx Virtex-5 SX95T field-programmable gate array (FPGA) and PXI Express technology. With this new module, engineers [...]
Software-defined instrument addresses multiprotocol wireless tests
National Instruments reports on a test tool they designed where the test measurements are performed using a software-defined instrument approach on a common processing platform. It is not exactly SDR but they are solving many of the issues SDRs must deal with.
