Description
P1284M Proteus AWG for Intelligent RF Systems
The Tabor P1284M Proteus AWG is designed for engineers who need more than waveform playback. It is built to create responsive, adaptive RF environments. Powered by advanced SDR architecture and integrated FPGA processing, this four-channel arbitrary waveform generator provides precise signal control and real-time adaptability for demanding applications.
With a 1.25GS/s sample rate and 16-bit vertical resolution, the P1284M Proteus AWG ensures exceptional waveform fidelity and dynamic range. The standard 1GS memory allows long and complex waveform sequences, while optional upgrades expand memory up to 16GS. This makes it ideal for dense Electronic Warfare simulations, wideband communication testing, and physics research environments.
Modular and Scalable Architecture
Built on the industry-standard PXI Express platform, the P1284M Proteus AWG offers a compact and scalable design. It supports synchronized multi-channel systems that can scale from a few channels to hundreds within a single chassis. The high-density configuration packs four generator outputs into minimal PXI slots, making it efficient for large-scale qubit control, radar system development, and massive MIMO experimentation.
Real-Time Feedback Control
One of the strongest advantages of the P1284M Proteus AWG is its real-time feedback capability. By tightly integrating DAC functionality with optional ADC inputs under FPGA control, the system eliminates PC round-trip latency. This enables conditional waveform generation, allowing the output to change instantly based on measured input signals. For closed-loop Electronic Warfare systems, radar target simulation, and quantum control, this responsiveness significantly enhances realism and system performance.
Task Based Waveform Sequencing
Unlike conventional waveform generators that rely on fixed linear sequencing, the Task Table engine operates as a conditional state machine. It can jump between waveform segments in response to external triggers or internal logic conditions. In radar simulation mode, the instrument can detect incoming pulses and immediately generate coherent echoes such as delayed or Doppler-shifted responses to simulate moving targets.
The system is easily programmable using Python, MATLAB, C, LabVIEW, and SCPI commands. This flexibility ensures seamless integration into research laboratories, automated test systems, and production environments.
