Mtec 2003 Preview NI shows off new PXI format signal analyser Go along and see National Instruments' new broadband signal analyser, the PXI-5660. This impressive instrument combines the powerful spectral measurement capabilities of LabVIEW with the latest hardware (GHz speed Pentium processors, digital down-conversion ASICs, ultra-miniature acoustic filters and oscillators) all packed into a PXI format, 3U high box. Claimed to perform RF measurements up to 200 times faster than existing instruments, the PXI-5660 acquires signals from 9kHz to 2.7GHz with up to 20MHz real time bandwidth, and has an onboard ultra-high stability, oven-controlled oscillator that provides the level of accuracy and stability required for automated applications.
