Portable Models

Tabor’s latest addition to its line of RF analog signal generators is by far the most advanced portable, handheld signal generator on the market. The all-new Lucid Series portable platform offers a modern design capable of operating either as a benchtop or a portable signal generator. The series feature 3, 6 and 12 GHz single channel versions, all sharing the very same industry leading highlighted features. Featuring superior signal integrity and purity, all the necessary modulated signals for analog communication systems, built in USB, optional LAN interfaces and removable microSD card, the Lucid Series is designed to meet today’s most demanding applications, whether in the lab or out in the field.

Easy to use

The Portable platform offers a 10” touch screen with user friendly GUI to quickly and easily generate the required signal, while displaying all the critical information. For remote control, the series is equipped with a built-in USB interface enabling remote programming from PC. For those requiring LAN interface a USB to LAN converter can be provided.

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.
