NI PXIe‑5842 (PXle5842) is a third‑generation PXIe Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) that combines a high‑performance vector signal generator and analyzer in a single 4‑slot 3U PXIe moduleNI. It delivers continuous frequency coverage from 30 MHz to 26.5 GHz with an instantaneous bandwidth up to 4 GHzNI, making it ideal for R&D and production testing of 5G NR, Wi‑Fi 7 (802.11be), radar, satellite communications, and electronic warfare systemsNI. Key strengths include best‑in‑class EVM performance (−58 dB for 5G NR 100 MHz, −52 dB for Wi‑Fi 7 320 MHz), fast frequency/power settling (<230 µs tuning time), and seamless integration with NI’s LabVIEW and RFmx software ecosystemNI. It supports multi‑module synchronization for MIMO and multi‑channel test setups, with high‑speed MGT interfaces (up to 16 Gbps per channel) for real‑time I/Q streaming and FPGA‑based processingNI.
