Product Description

The NI PXIe-5540 is a specialized device designed for radio frequency (RF) test systems. It’s not a standard data acquisition (DAQ) module, but rather a slot-compatible RF combiner that fits into a PXI Express (PXIe) chassis. Its primary function is to combine multiple RF signals into a single output or to split one signal into several outputs. This makes it a crucial component for building complex and multi-channel RF test benches in a compact form factor.

Product Parameters

• Model Name: PXIe-5540 (Slot Compatible RF Combiner)
• Product Type: RF Combiner / Splitter
• Form Factor: Slot-compatible PXI Express (PXIe) module
• Frequency Range: Typically operates from 250 MHz to 6 GHz, though specific performance details can vary.
• Connectivity: Features multiple RF ports on the front panel and high-density pin ports on the rear for chassis backplane communication.
• Compatibility: Designed to work within an NI PXI Express chassis.

Product Advantages

• High-Density and Modularity: As a PXIe module, the PXIe-5540 allows you to create dense, multi-channel RF test systems within a single chassis. This modular approach is more space-efficient and cost-effective than using multiple standalone instruments.
• Seamless Integration: It integrates seamlessly into the PXIe platform, allowing for synchronized and automated control of RF signals alongside other PXIe instruments, like RF signal generators and analyzers.
• Automated Testing: The PXIe platform, along with this module, is ideal for creating automated RF test systems for manufacturing, research, and validation.

Precautions

• Obsolete Status: The NI PXIe-5540 is considered an obsolete product. While you may still find it available from third-party vendors, National Instruments no longer manufactures or provides direct support for it. For new systems, it’s recommended to consider a modern equivalent.
• RF Safety: Always use proper RF safety precautions. This includes using high-quality, shielded coaxial cables and ensuring all connections are secure to prevent signal loss and damage to the device.
• System Compatibility: Ensure that your PXIe chassis and software drivers are compatible with the module.

Product Applications

The NI PXIe-5540 RF Combiner is used in specialized test and measurement applications, particularly in the wireless communication and RF industries. Its applications include:

• Wireless Device Testing: Combining signals from multiple sources to test the performance of wireless receivers.
• Antenna Array Testing: Splitting a single signal to feed multiple antenna elements for testing.
• Automated RF Test Systems: Serving as a signal conditioning front-end in automated test benches for a variety of RF products.
• Radio Transceiver Development: Used in laboratories to combine or split signals for testing the various components of a radio transceiver.
