Description
LS3081P Portable Signal Generator
The LS3081P 3GHz Single Channel Portable Signal Generator is designed for engineers and technicians who require a compact, portable, and high-precision RF signal source. Part of Tabor Electronics’ Lucid series, it offers outstanding signal fidelity, rapid frequency switching, and versatile modulation options, all in a small, modular platform that is perfect for both lab and field applications.
Fast Frequency Switching
With a switching speed of under 100µs, the LS3081P minimizes test cycle latency, reducing dead time during automated testing. This capability allows for faster sweep rates and more efficient high-volume measurements, critical in both design verification and production testing environments.
Exceptional Signal Integrity
Signal purity is a priority in modern RF applications. The LS3081P delivers exceptional signal clarity, featuring a low SSB phase noise of -138 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset). This ensures precise and clean signals, meeting the rigorous demands of high-accuracy RF testing, calibration, and communications applications.
Versatile Modulation Capabilities
The LS3081P supports a comprehensive suite of internal modulation options, including AM, FM, PM, Sweep, and Pulse. External baseband signals can also be modulated. Pulse modulation delivers a high on/off ratio of 60 dBc, suitable for radar simulations, communication system testing, and other analog signal applications.
Flexible Control and Connectivity
Engineered for seamless integration, the LS3081P uses SCPI and VISA standards, enabling control via USB, LAN, or SPI. Users can write scripts and interface the unit with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, or LabVIEW. The included virtual front panel allows intuitive local operation, making the unit highly versatile for portable field use or laboratory setups.
Applications
The LS3081P is ideal for field engineers, RF testing, high-throughput automated test equipment, communications verification, and educational lab experiments. Its compact size and high performance make it suitable for engineers who require precise, reliable RF signals wherever they work.
