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

Signal Integrity and Purity
One of the most important requirements in today’s testing and measurement applications isa high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -145dBc at 100MHz, and -132dBc at1GHz, at 10 kHz carrier offset, Tabor’s Lucid Series platform delivers one of the best quality
signals available on the market today.

Multiple Ways to Control the Unit and Write Your CodeTabor’s Lucid Series has a dedicated software to control the instrument functions, modesand features via a graphical user interface (GUI). It also includes 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’sor use low-level SCPI commands to program the instrument, regardless of whether yourapplication 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 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.
