PXIe-5820

The PXIe‑582 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.
