Gerador de Sinais RF Compacto 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 Desktop platform offers all the functionality of a fully featured full-size RF analog signal generator in the smallest footprint module available on the market. Its small size enables using it as a desktop unit or easily scaling up to hundreds of channels, while keeping the required space to a minimum, let it be 3, 6, and 12 GHz, excellent signal quality and integrity and fast switching speeds. 

Features

Flexible modular platform for OEM and custom requirements and applications, to satisfy specific customer demands

Extremely Fast Switching

In today’s world, time is a crucial factor, whether in design, on the production floor or inside ATE systems. With a switching speed of less than 100μs, Tabor’s All-New Lucid Series ensures maximum measurements at minimum time, setting the industry’s highest throughput standard.

Signal Integrity and Purity

One of the most important requirement in today’s test and measurement applications is high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -145dBc/Hz at 100MHz, and -132dBc/Hz 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.
