NI-RFmx 2.2 measurement software for PXI RF test systems, when used with second-generation PXI Vector Signal Transceiver (VST), allows testing of 4.5G and 5G RF components such as transceivers and amplifiers using a wide range of carrier aggregation schemes, even as the 5G standard is still being defined.

Simultaneously generates and measures up to 32 LTE carriers, each with 20MHz of bandwidth, and specifies a variety of carrier spacing schemes. Features algorithm improvements for reduced measurement time. Reduces EVM measurement time up to 33% for modulation quality and spectral measurements for wireless technologies such as UMTS/HSPA+ and LTE/LTE-Advanced Pro. Adds enhanced support for measurements such as intermodulation distortion, third order intercept, and both Y-factor and cold source noise figure measurements.
