The PXIe-5698 is a high-performance, compact RF power amplifier designed specifically for PXI Express (PXIe) test systems, optimized for amplifying RF signals up to 26.5 GHz. It integrates seamlessly into automated test environments (ATE) and research setups, delivering consistent gain, low distortion, and reliable performance—making it ideal for applications like RF component testing (e.g., filters, mixers), radar system prototyping, 5G sub-6 GHz and mmWave (up to 26.5 GHz) validation, and satellite communication module testing.
Occupies a single 3U PXIe slot, enabling high-speed communication and triggering synchronization (PXIe_TRIG 0–15) across multi-module test systems.
Features over-temperature shutdown, RF overload protection (limiting input power to ≤ +10 dBm), and reverse power safety mitigation.
Full driver support via NI-RFSA and NI TestStand, alongside APIs for LabVIEW, Python, C/C++, and .NET for custom automated testing.
