Description
LSX2091P Portable Signal Generator
The LSX2091P 20GHz Single Channel Portable Microwave Signal Generator is a high-precision instrument designed for engineers and technicians demanding accuracy, flexibility, and portability in RF signal generation. Part of Tabor Electronics’ Lucid-X series, the LSX2091P combines low phase noise, ultra-fast frequency switching, and extensive modulation capabilities, making it ideal for demanding microwave and RF testing applications.
Fast Frequency Switching for High Throughput
The LSX2091P features an ultra-fast frequency switching speed of less than 10µs, enabling rapid signal changes that minimize “dead time” in automated testing environments. This feature is essential for frequency-hopping radar simulations, electronic warfare scenarios, and secure communication protocols where pulse-to-pulse signal changes are required. Engineers can perform fast, accurate measurements without compromising signal integrity.
Superior Signal Integrity and Low Phase Noise
With a phase noise of -133 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset) and harmonics suppressed to -50 dBc, the LSX2091P ensures exceptional signal purity. This level of spectral performance is critical for local oscillator applications, intermodulation distortion measurement systems, and high-performance DAC/ADC clocking, providing precise and reliable outputs for sensitive RF experiments.
Versatile Analog and Pulse Modulation
The LSX2091P supports a full suite of modulation modes, including AM, FM, PM, Sweep, and Pulse modulation. Pulse modulation achieves a high on/off ratio (typically 70 dB) with rise/fall times below 15 ns, ensuring precise performance for radar and electronic warfare testing. Engineers can also utilize internal or external modulation for versatile waveform generation in analog and digital communication testing.
Flexible Control and Connectivity
Designed for seamless integration, the LSX2091P uses SCPI and VISA commands, supporting LAN, USB, and SPI interfaces. It is compatible with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, and LabVIEW, and includes a virtual front panel for intuitive local or remote control. Its portable form factor allows for easy deployment in field testing or compact laboratory setups.
Applications
Ideal for radar system evaluation, electronic warfare simulations, secure communications, high-precision lab measurements, and automated testing, the LSX2091P ensures reliable, high-fidelity signal generation in any environment. Its combination of speed, precision, and portability makes it an essential tool for advanced RF and microwave applications.
