Features

Signal Integrity and Purity

8GHz Single Channel Microwave Signal Generator Frequency Resolution of 0.001Hz Phase noise of -134dBc/Hz at 1GHz, and -115dBc/Hz at 10GHz, at 10kHz carrier offset Max amplitude 10dBm Calibrated, 15dBm Settable Min amplitude -50dBm Calibrated, -70dBm Settable Amplitude Resolution of 0.01dB AM, FM, PM, Sweep & Pulse Modulation Extra small, compact module platform for OEM and custom requirements SPI and USB C integrated interfaces Multi instrument synchronization capability.

Modulation Schemes

Signal bursts and chirps have become common need in most aerospace or defense application. With Tabor’s All-New Lucid Series, any signal modulation is possible, no matter if “narrow” or “standard” signals are required. 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, Pulse, Pattern and Sweep.

Extremely Fast Switching

Time is a crucial factor, whether in design, on the production floor or inside ATE systems. With a switching speed of less than 500 µs (100 µs optional) at up to 20GHz, Tabor’s Lucid Series ensures maximum measurements at minimum time, setting the industry’s highest throughput standard.

Multiple Ways to Control the Unit and Write your Code

Tabor’s Lucid X 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.
