THINK RF THINK LUCIDDESKTOP MODELSThe All-new Lucid-X extends the frequency range of Tabor’s industry leading Lucid
series of analog signal generator all the way up to mm-Wave, in the smallest footprint
module available on the market. Its small size enables using it as a desktop unit
or easily scaling up to multiple of channels, while keeping the required space to aminimum, let it be 20GHz or 40GHz, excellent signal quality and integrity and fastswitching speeds. The Lucid-X Series is designed to meet today’s most demanding
specifications, needed from the R&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 high signal quality. With a typical SSB phase noise of -134dBc/Hz at 1GHz, and -115dBc/
Hz at 10GHz, at 10kHz carrier offset, Tabor’s Lucid X Series platform delivers great quality
signals with the best price to performance value.

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.
