NI 5660 Overview
The NI 5660 is a modular RF vector signal analyzer consisting of two PXI hardware modules:
- NI 5620 — 14 bit, 64 megasample-per-second (MS/s) IF digitizer module
- NI 5600 — wideband RF downconverter module with input frequencies between 9 kHz and 2.7 GHz.
The hardware modules interconnect using the included SMA-SMA coaxial cables as shown below.
