Description

PXI-5671: Product Overview
The National Instruments PXI-5671 is an extended frequency range RF vector signal generator designed for PXI-based test systems requiring high-frequency signal generation capabilities. This module builds upon the architecture of the PXI-5670, extending the frequency coverage to 6.6 GHz to support applications in microwave communications, satellite communications, and higher-frequency wireless standards. The instrument maintains the 100 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and high signal quality characteristics of its predecessor while addressing the needs of emerging communication technologies operating in the 2.7 GHz to 6.6 GHz range.
Installed in a PXI chassis, the module functions as a complete signal generation solution for testing microwave components, radar systems, and advanced communication systems. The architecture incorporates a vector signal generator, RF local oscillator, and upconversion stages optimized for extended frequency operation. The module supports generation of complex modulated signals for testing modern wireless standards including 5G, WiGig, and satellite communication protocols that utilize higher frequency bands.

Core Features & Customer Value
The primary value of the PXI-5671 is its extended frequency range​ that addresses the needs of modern microwave and millimeter-wave precursor applications. The 6.6 GHz maximum frequency enables testing of systems operating in C-band and other microwave frequencies used for satellite communications, point-to-point radio links, and emerging 5G applications. The maintained 100 MHz instantaneous bandwidth ensures support for wideband signals required by advanced modulation schemes.
The module’s high signal quality​ with low spurious emissions and phase noise ensures accurate characterization of receiver performance under realistic signal conditions. The software-defined architecture​ provides flexibility to generate both standard-compliant signals and custom waveforms, adapting to evolving test requirements without hardware modifications. This programmability reduces long-term cost of ownership by extending the useful life of test equipment as standards evolve.
Integration with the PXI platform​ enables synchronization with vector signal analyzers and other instruments to create complete transmitter test systems. The module can be used in conjunction with frequency upconverters to address applications above 6.6 GHz while maintaining the baseband signal generation capabilities of the instrument.
Typical Applications
In satellite communication testing, the module generates uplink signals in C-band and other satellite frequency bands for transponder testing and ground station equipment validation.
For 5G NR testing, the instrument creates signals in frequency range 1 (FR1) up to 6 GHz for base station and user equipment receiver testing according to 3GPP specifications.
In radar system testing, the module generates pulsed and modulated RF signals for evaluating radar receivers operating in S-band and C-band frequencies used in air traffic control and weather radar systems.
