National Instruments PXIe-5633 PXIe Vector Network Analyzer

The PXIe-5633 (part numbers: 788182-08, 788182-12, 788182-18, 788182-26) is a PXIe Vector Network Analyzer from National Instruments. Equipped with a single slot, this unique and versatile device offers the testing capabilities of both a Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) and a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) into a single convenient model. Designed for streamlining high-production applications, the PXIe-5633 boasts S-parameter and modulated measurements combined in a single connection. Precise calibration (both automatic and manual), de-embedding, and full vector analysis are only a few of the capabilities found with the device.

The different part numbers of the PXIe-5633 VNA differ in their both their maximum power and frequency measurements. Part number 788182-08 measures a maximum source power of 16 dBm and have a maximum frequency of 8 GHz. Part number 788182-12 features a maximum power of 15 dBm and a maximum frequency of 12 GHz, while the maximum power for part number 788182-18 is 13 dBm with a max frequency of 18 GHz. Finally, part number 788182-26 has max power of only 5 dBm, with a comparatively higher frequency measuring 26.5 GHz at maximum. 

The full potential of this Vector Network Analyzer is truly evident when it is used with other NI modules. For example, pairing the PXIe-5633 with both the PXIe-5655 RF Analog Signal Generator and the PXIe-5842 Vector Signal Transceiver results in the version of the PXIe-5842 that is complete with S-parameters.

Software connectivity is another important aspect of the PXIe-5633. By easily connecting with both InstrumentStudio and RFmz software, the device provides exceptional test program creation and control.  RFmx software tools from NI allow users to customize RF instrumentation for a applications spanning a wide range of industries, including by not limited to aerospace, defense, and IoT.
