Description
LS3082B Signal Generator
The LS3082B 3GHz Dual Channel RF Analog Signal Generator is designed for modern RF engineers seeking precision, speed, and flexibility. Part of the Tabor Electronics Lucid series, the LS3082B provides ultra-low phase noise, fast frequency switching, and versatile analog and pulse modulation capabilities, all in a compact benchtop form factor.
Fast Frequency Switching for Maximum Efficiency
With a switching speed of under 100µs, the LS3082B minimizes downtime between frequency changes, allowing rapid measurement sweeps and improved throughput. This feature is essential for automated test equipment (ATE) environments, reducing test cycle times while maintaining high measurement accuracy.
Exceptional Signal Integrity
The LS3082B delivers a typical phase noise of -138 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset), ensuring clear, stable signals. This low noise floor supports high-precision applications such as local oscillator testing, intermodulation distortion measurements, and DAC/ADC clocking, providing reliability in demanding RF and microwave environments.
Versatile Modulation Capabilities
Engineered for analog communications and radar testing, the LS3082B supports AM, FM, PM, Sweep, and Pulse modulation. Pulse modulation achieves a 60 dBc on/off ratio, while external baseband modulation allows custom waveform generation. This flexibility makes it ideal for dual-channel testing, phase-coherent measurements, and signal simulation.
Flexible Control and Integration
The LS3082B utilizes SCPI and VISA protocols for seamless remote control via LAN or USB. It integrates easily with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, and LabVIEW. The included virtual front panel allows intuitive local or networked control, making the generator suitable for both lab experiments and field testing.
Applications
The LS3082B excels in dual-channel radar systems testing, communications device validation, automated RF test environments, and high-precision lab measurements. Its combination of dual outputs, fast switching, and signal fidelity makes it a trusted tool for engineers and test teams.
