THINK RF THINK LUCIDPORTABLE MODELSThe All-new Lucid-X Portable platform extends the frequency range of Tabor’s industry
leading Lucid series of analog signal generator all the way up to mm-Wave and is by
far the most advanced portable, handheld signal generator on the market. It offers amodern design capable of operating either as a benchtop or a portable signal generator.
The series feature 20 and 40GHz single channel versions, all sharing the very sameindustry 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 micro-SD card, the Lucid-X Series is designed
to meet today’s most demanding applications, whether in the lab or out in the field.

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.

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.
