Description
LS1291P Portable Signal Generator
The LS1291P 12GHz Single Channel Portable Signal Generator is engineered for engineers and technicians who require precision, portability, and flexibility in RF signal generation. Part of Tabor Electronics’ Lucid series, this signal generator delivers exceptional spectral purity, fast frequency switching, and comprehensive modulation capabilities for high-performance RF testing.
Fast Frequency Switching
The LS1291P features a rapid frequency switching speed of less than 100µs. This allows for faster measurement cycles and reduces “dead time” in automated testing environments, making it ideal for design bench evaluations and high-volume production testing. The fast switching ensures accurate signal generation for dynamic environments, including radar and secure communication testing.
Superior Signal Integrity
Signal purity is critical in modern RF applications. The LS1291P achieves an SSB phase noise of -138 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz with a 10 kHz offset. This ensures clean, low-noise signals that meet the rigorous requirements of high-precision applications, such as ADC/DAC clocking, intermodulation distortion measurements, and radar system testing.
Versatile Modulation Capabilities
The LS1291P supports a wide range of modulation modes, including AM, FM, PM, Sweep, and Pulse modulation. Pulse modulation features an on/off ratio of 60 dBc, while internal and external modulation capabilities allow engineers to simulate real-world signals for radar, electronic warfare, and secure communication systems.
Flexible Control and Connectivity
The LS1291P supports SCPI and VISA commands, making it easy to control via USB or LAN. Users can integrate it with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, or LabVIEW, while the virtual front panel allows local or remote operation. The portable design and modular construction make it a practical solution for field measurements and laboratory testing.
Applications
This generator is ideal for radar system evaluation, electronic warfare simulations, high-precision lab testing, secure communication signal generation, and automated testing setups. Its portability ensures engineers can perform critical RF measurements anywhere without compromising accuracy.
