GETTING STARTED GUIDE
NI PXIe-5665 3.6 GHz
Vector Signal Analyzer
MIMO Platform
This document describes the proper slot placement and module connections needed for a
phase-coherent multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) system with the
NI PXIe-5665 3.6 GHz (NI 5665) vector signal analyzer (VSA).
The NI 5665 comprises the following modules:
•
NI PXIe-5603 (NI 5603) RF downconverter
•
NI PXIe-5653 (NI 5653) LO module
•
NI PXIe-5622 (NI 5622) IF digitizer
Preconfigured NI MIMO test systems that include these modules, a chassis, controller,
software, and accessories are available for purchase at
.
This document also describes how to correctly configure the devices in Measurement &
Automation Explorer (MAX) and how to associate the modules. Refer to the
NI PXIe-5665
Getting Started Guide
and the
NI PXIe-5665 Specifications
, for
more information about device specifications, maintenance, and safety information.
Note
The
master
NI 5665 is the RF signal analyzer that receives the LO signal
directly from the NI 5653 module.
Slave
NI 5665 devices refer to the additional
analyzer channels that receive daisy-chained LO and Reference Clock signals.
Installing the Modules
The NI 5665 MIMO test system equipment setup requires you to install a master NI 5665 and
additional NI 5665 slave devices in your PXI Express chassis.
Note
The following installation instructions use semi-rigid cables when making
some module connections. The semi-rigid cables restrict slot placement because they
require you to place certain modules next to each other in the chassis.
1. Install the NI 5665 master device in your chassis. To use the cables included with your
module kit, install the NI 5622 IF digitizer module immediately to the left of the NI 5603
RF downconverter module, and install the NI 5653 LO module immediately to the right
of the NI 5603.
