THINK RF THINK LUCID

BENCHTOP MODELSThe all-new Lucid-X Series benchtop platform offers up to 4 phase coherent channels
in a standalone compact unit. The series feature 20 and 40GHz models in single,
dual or four channel versions, all sharing the very same industry leading highlighted
features. 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.

AM, FM, PM,Sweep, Pulse &Pattern Modulation

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.

Modulation Schemes
Signal bursts and chirps have become common need in most aerospace or defense application. WithTabor’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.
