DRACK MOUNT MODELSThe all-new Lucid Series Rack mount platform is designed to offer maximum channel
density at minimum cost of space. The rack-mounted platform, offers up to 4 phasecoherent channels in a 19” 1U box and up to 16 phase coherent channels in a 19” 3Ubox. Featuring extremely 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 interface, the Lucid Series
is designed to meet today’s most demanding speciﬁcations, needed for ATE andproduction lines.

Signal Integrity and Purity
One of the most important requirements in today’s testing and measurement applications is a highsignal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -145dBc at 100MHz, and -132dBc at 1GHz, at 10 kHz
carrier offset. Lucid delivers one of the best quality signals available on the market today.

Multiple Ways to Control the Unit and Write Your CodeThe Lucid Series has a dedicated software to control the instrument functions, modes and features
via a graphical user interface (GUI). It also includes a complete set of drivers, allowing you to write
applications 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 the application is written for Windows, Linux or Macintosh
operating systems.

Modulation Schemes
Signal bursts and chirps have become common need in most aerospace or defense application. With
Tabor’s Lucid Series, any signal modulation is possible, no matter if “narrow” or “standard” signals arerequired. On top of its outstanding pulse modulation performance, the Lucid Series is also equippedwith many CW interferers, and modulated signals such as AM, FM, PM, Pulse, Pattern and Sweep.

Multi-channel, phase coherent, benchtop generator
Many test systems and experimental setups require multiple RF channels, either separate orsynchronized. 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 withoutcompromising performance.
