The PXIe-5745 facilitates direct radio frequency (RF) production reaching 3 gigahertz (GHz), boasting a resolution of 12 bits. It can be operated in a two-channel configuration at a rate of 3.2 gigasamples per second (GS/s) to generate signals up to 1.5 GHz, or in a single-channel wideband upconversion setup at 6.4 GS/s. This device is well-suited for scenarios demanding high channel density intermediate frequency (IF) signal creation paired with multichannel alignment—such as radar systems, electronic warfare operations, and communication networks. The FlexRIO software driver offers compatibility for producing preconfigured waveforms, while the LabVIEW-programmable Xilinx Kintex UltraScale field-programmable gate array (FPGA) allows for on-the-fly waveform development, signal modulation and demodulation, as well as other tailored real-time signal processing tasks.
