NI RF Signal Generator

NI 5670 Overview

The NI PXI-5670 is an NI RF vector signal generator consisting of the following two PXI hardware modules:

  • NI 5421 — 16 bit, 100 megasample-per-second (MS/s) arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) module (400 MS/s interpolated).
  • NI 5610 — 2.7 GHz RF superheterodyne upconverter module.
 Note  There is no physical device labeled "NI 5670." The NI 5670 is the instrument comprised of the NI 5610 upconverter module and the NI 5421 AWG module. The NI 5670 is operated by NI-RFSG.

The hardware modules interconnect using SMA-SMB coaxial cables, included in your hardware kit, as illustrated in the following figure. Refer to section 6. Interconnecting the NI 5670/5671/5672 Modules in the NI RF Signal Generators Getting Started Guide for more information about interconnecting hardware modules.

The NI 5670 follows industry-standard Plug and Play specifications for the PXI bus and can be seamlessly integrated with compliant systems.

For NI 5670 specifications, refer to the specifications document that shipped with your RF signal generator.
