What is Digital Signal Transceiver Driver?
Digital Signal Transceiver Driver (DST) is a software driver that enables a NI high-speed serial instrument with custom firmware to do one or both of the following:
- Perform as a signal generation instrument that digitally transfers RF vector (I/Q) signals to a digital transmit-receive module (digital TRM)
- Perform as a signal acquisition instrument that digitally transfers RF vector (I/Q) signals from a digital TRM
Key Features
Digital Signal Transceiver Driver has the following features and capabilities:
- Up to 2 GHz IBW (instantaneous bandwidth) of digital throughput
- Multi-channel digital waveform acquisition and generation
- Configurable I/Q records with reference triggering
- Waveform generation from disk or onboard DRAM (dynamic random access memory)
- Interfaces with NI-RFmx API for spectral, demodulation, or custom measurements
- Cross-domain synchronization with a Vector Signal Transceiver (VST) for synchronized digital-to-RF and RF-to-digital parametric measurements
