CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

PXIe-5665

3.6 GHz and 14 GHz RF Vector Signal Analyzer

This document contains the verification procedures for the National Instruments PXIe-5665
RF vector signal analyzer (VSA). Refer to

ni.com/calibration

for more information about

calibration solutions.

When not otherwise specified, the procedures in this document refer to both the PXIe-5665
3.6 GHz VSA and the PXIe-5665 14 GHz VSA products. In places where the procedures differ
between the two products, the appropriate device settings are specified.

Note

PXIe-5665 tuned frequencies greater than 3.6 GHz and procedures with the

preselector enabled for frequencies greater than 3.6 GHz apply only to the PXIe-5665
14 GHz VSA.

NI warrants the PXIe-5665 to meet its published specifications if the individual modules are
calibrated and operating within specifications. For more information about RF system
calibration, visit

ni.com/manuals
