GETTING STARTED GUIDENI 6.6 GHz MIMO PlatformThis document describes the proper slot placement and module connections needed for aphase-coherent MIMO system with the National Instruments 6.6 GHz MIMO platform,namely the NI PXIe-5663E and NI PXIe-5673E. This document also describes how tocorrectly configure the devices in NI Measurement & Automation Explorer (MAX) and howto associate the modules.ContentsDevices Used in the NI 6.6 GHz MIMO Platform...................................................................1Installing the Modules...............................................................................................................2Installing the NI 5673E Master.........................................................................................3Installing the NI 5673E Slaves..........................................................................................4Installing the NI 5663E Master.........................................................................................5Installing the NI 5663E Slaves..........................................................................................6Interconnecting the Modules.....................................................................................................7Interconnecting the NI 5673E Master...............................................................................7Interconnecting the NI 5673E Slaves................................................................................8Interconnecting the NI 5663E Master.............................................................................10Interconnecting the NI 5663E Slaves..............................................................................11Completing the Setup..............................................................................................................12Configuring the Devices in MAX...........................................................................................13Configuring the NI 5673E Master..................................................................................13Configuring the NI 5673E Slaves...................................................................................15Configuring the NI 5663E Master..................................................................................16Configuring the NI 5663E Slaves...................................................................................18Locating Additional Documentation.......................................................................................19Worldwide Support and Services............................................................................................20Devices Used in the NI 6.6 GHz MIMO PlatformThe 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
