DBENCHTOP MODELSThe all-new Lucid Series benchtop platform offers up to 4 phase coherent channels
in a standalone compact unit. The series feature 3, 6 and 12 GHz models in single,
dual or four channel versions, all sharing the very same industry leading highlightedfeatures. Featuring extremely fast switching speed, superior signal integrity andpurity, removable memory card for maximum security, all the necessary modulated
signals for analog communication systems, built in LAN and USB interfaces, the LucidSeries is designed to meet today’s most demanding speciﬁcations, needed from theR&D benches to the production 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 benchtop platform offers up to 4, separate or phase coherent, RF
outputs in a single 19” 2U box, saving up to 4 times the space compared to available benchtop
solutions on the market. You can save both valuable bench/rack space and investment capital withoutcompromising performance.

Easy to use
The benchtop platform offers a 5” 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 isequipped with Ethernet and USB interface enabling remote programming from PC.
