Hardware Support

The NI™ Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) is a PXI-based VST that you can use for 5G and mmWave wireless testing.

The NI VST is supported through the Instrument Control Toolbox Support Package for IVI® and VXIplug&play Drivers. You must install the NI-RFSA and NI-RFSG drivers from NI to support additional signal analyzers and signal generators.

You can use MATLAB software to acquire IQ data and generate and send IQ data with supported vector signal transceivers, signal analyzers, and signal generators.
