National Instruments (Austin, TX) introduced the PXIe-5668R 26.5-GHz microwave vector signal analyzer (VSA) and a 20-GHz continuous wave signal generator. The VSA delivers low noise floor, high linearity, and low phase noise, and delivers up to 765 MHz of instantaneous bandwidth. Engineers can analyze wide-bandwidth signals in a single acquisition including radar pulses, LTE-Advanced transmissions, and 802.11ac waveforms. Users can program the VSA’s user-programmable FPGA with LabVIEW system design software to customize instrument behavior. The 20-GHz signal generator features fast tuning time of 100 μs for applications such as blocking/interferer generation, high-performance intermodulation distortion test benches, and various electronic warfare applications.
