Gerador de Sinais RF para Rack Tabor Série Lucid

Tabor is proud to introduce its new line of RF analog signal generators. The all-new Lucid Series offers the most advanced features and industry leading performance in the most compact form factor.

The series feature 3, 6 and 12 GHz single channel versions, all sharing the very same industry leading highlighted features, in a compact, small footprint module. Featuring fast switching speed, superior signal integrity and purity, all the necessary modulated signals for analog communication systems, with built in SPI and micro-USB interface, the Lucid Series is designed to meet today’s most demanding specifications, needed from the R&D benches to the production lines.

The Rack Mount platform is designed to offer maximum channel density at minimum cost of space. Offering up to 4 phase coherent channels in a 19” 1U box and up to 16 phase coherent channels in a 19” 3U box, the rack mount platform is by far the best in its class for signal density. Featuring fast switching speed, superior signal integrity and purity, removable memory card for maximum security, all the necessary modulated signals for analog communication systems, built in LAN and USB interfaces, this platform meets today’s most demanding specifications, needed for ATE and production lines.

Features

3 GHz, 6 GHz and 12 GHz RF Analog signal Generators

Extremely fast swithching speed of <100us

Up to 16 phase coherent channels in a single rack-mounted box

Remotely programmable via MATLAB, Python, LabView and other software programming environments

USB and LAN interfaces

Exceptionally low phase noise of -145dBc/Hz @100MHz and 10kHz offset

Easy to use benchtop platform with 5'' touch screen and user friendly GUI

Rack Mount designed for maximum channel density in minumum rack space

AM, FM, PM Sweep & Pulse Modulation

Removable SD card for instrument security

Multi-channel, phase coherent, benchtop generator

Many test systems and experimental setups require multiple RF channels, either separate or synchronized. The Lucid series rack mounted platform offers up to 16 separate or phase coherent, RF outputs in a single 19” 3U box, saving up to 16 times the space compared to available rack mounted solutions on the market. You can save both valuable bench/rack space and investment capital without compromising performance.

Signal Integrity and Purity

One of the most important requirement in today’s testing and measurement applications is high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -145dBc at 100MHz, and -132dBc at 1GHz, at 10 kHz carrier offset, Tabor’s All-New Lucid Series platform delivers one of the best quality signals available on the market today, answering the ever-growing demand for clear and precise signals.

Modulation Schemes

Signal bursts and chirps have become common need in the daily life of any aerospace or defense application. With Tabor’s All-New Lucid Series, any pulse modulation is possible, no matter if its “narrow” or “standard” pulse need. On top of its outstanding pulse modulation performance, the Lucid Series is also equipped with many CW interferers, and modulated signals such as AM, FM, PM and Sweep.

Multiple Ways to Control the Unit and Write your Code

Tabor’s Lucid Series comes with its own dedicated software to control the instrument functions, modes and features via a graphical user interface (GUI) as well as a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write your application in various environments including LabVIEW, Python, CVI, C++, VB and MATLAB. You may also link the supplied dll to other Windows-based API’s or use low-level SCPI commands to program the instrument, regardless of whether your application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh operating systems.
