hi ,
I am new to Rf analysis , I have a Rf tyre pressure componentthe signal is as follows -

modulation - ASK
carrier center frequency - 433.9Mhz
CF tolerance - +/- 75Khz
Baud rate - 4.2 kbps

now i need to retreive the data , to compare with an ideal data.
I have PXI 5660 in my mind and Modulation toolkit software , am i going in the right direction?

also in a munufacturing test scenario , the RF receiving antenna needs to be fed into a environmental chamber, are there any cabeling solutions that is off the shelf and can be connected to the 5660?

Many thanks
Niladri Bose

Hello Niladri,
You are certainly going in the right direction. Modulation Toolkit 3.0 adds ASK support to the suite of modulation analysis and generation tools provided by the National Instruments RF platform. As for cabling solutions, I am a little unclear as to your needs but the PXI-5660 has a female SMA connector as its input. A BNC-SMA adapter from any electronics store can be used to make the connectivity BNC which may make your cabling solution easier to solve.
