Devices Used in the NI 6.6 GHz MIMO Platform
The NI 6.6 GHz MIMO platform is made up of the NI PXIe-5663E and the NI PXIe-5673E.
The NI PXIe-5663E is composed of the following modules:
• NI PXIe-5601 RF downconverter
• NI PXIe-5652 LO source module
• NI PXIe-5622 IF digitizer
The NI PXIe-5673E is composed of the following modules:
• NI PXIe-5611 I/Q modulator
• NI PXIe-5652 LO source module
• NI PXIe-5450 arbitrary waveform generator (AWG)
Note This MIMO system includes additional NI 5601, NI 5622, NI 5611, and
NI 5450 modules. The number of additional modules depends on the number of
MIMO channels.
Preconfigured NI MIMO test systems that include all these modules, a chassis, controller,
software, and accessories are available for purchase at ni.com/mimo.
Installing the Modules
The NI 6.6 GHz MIMO test system setup requires you to install a master NI 5673E, additional
NI 5673E slave devices, a master NI 5663E, and additional NI 5663E slave devices in your
PXI Express chassis. The following figure shows one possible setup, containing four NI
5663E devices and two NI 5673E devices.

Note The following installation instructions use semi-rigid cables when making
some module connections. The semi-rigid cables restrict slot placement because they
require you to place certain modules next to each other in the chassis. The

instructions in this document ensure that you install the modules in the correct
locations.
Installing the NI 5673E Master
The master NI 5673E is the RF vector signal generator that receives the LO signal directly
from the NI 5652 module.
Tip Install the master NI 5673E modules in the chassis with enough room to install
the slave NI 5673E devices to the left of the master device.
1. Install the NI 5652 LO source module in any available PXI Express (or hybrid) slot with
at least three empty slots to the left.
2. Install the NI 5611 I/Q modulator module and the NI 5450 AWG module in the locations
shown in the following figure.

Interconnecting the Modules
After placing the modules in the chassis, complete the following steps to connect the proper
cables to the proper module terminals.
Interconnecting the NI 5673E Master
1. Using the four semi-rigid cables labeled A, connect the I+, I–, Q+, and Q– terminals of
the NI 5450 and the NI 5611.
These cables are phase-matched and connect the baseband I/Q signals from the NI 5450
to the NI 5611.
2. Using the semi-rigid cable labeled B, connect the RF OUT terminal of the NI 5652 to the
LO IN terminal of the NI 5611.
This cable connects the LO signal from the NI 5652 to the NI 5611.
3. Using the flexible SMA-to-SMA cable, connect the REF OUT2 terminal of the NI 5652
to the CLK IN terminal of the NI 5450.
NI 6.6 GHz MIMO Platform Getting Started Guide | © National Instruments | 7
This cable passes the 10 MHz Reference Clock signal of the NI 5652 to the NI 5450 so
that the NI 5450 can synthesize its DAC Sample Clock from a common timebase, such as
the NI 5652.

Interconnecting the NI 5673E Slaves
1. Using the semi-rigid cables labeled A, connect the I+, I–, Q+, and Q– terminals of the
slave NI 5450 and the slave NI 5611.
These cables are phase-matched and connect the baseband I/Q signals from the NI 5450
to the NI 5611.
2. Using the flexible SMA-to-SMA cable, connect the CLK OUT terminal of the preceding
NI 5450 to the CLK IN terminal of the next NI 5450.

This cable passes the NI 5450 DAC Sample Clock from the master to the slave(s).
3. Using the semi-rigid cable labeled G, connect the LO OUT terminal of the preceding
NI 5611 to the LO IN terminal of the next NI 5611.
This cable is used to daisy chain the LO signal.
4. Place SMA terminators on the LO OUT terminal (NI 5611) and CLK OUT terminal
(NI 5450) of the final slave device.

Interconnecting the NI 5663E Master
1. Using the semi-rigid cable labeled C, connect the RF OUT terminal of the NI 5652 to the
LO IN terminal of the NI 5601.
This cable connects the LO signal from the NI 5652 to the NI 5601.
2. Using the semi-rigid cable labeled D, connect the IF OUT terminal of the NI 5601 to the
IF IN terminal of the NI 5622.
This cable connects the downconverted IF signal from the NI 5601 to the NI 5622.
3. Using the flexible SMA-SMA cable, connect the REF OUT2 terminal of the NI 5652 to
the CLK IN terminal of the NI 5622.
This cable passes the 10 MHz Reference Clock signal of the NI 5652 to the NI 5622 so
