DPORTABLE MODELS

Tabor’s latest addition to its line of RF analog signal generators is by far the mostadvanced 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 channelversions, 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.

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 are
required. 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.

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 isequipped with a built-in USB interface enabling remote programming from PC. For those requiring
LAN interface a USB to LAN converter can be provided.
