Description
LS3084B Signal Generator
The LS3084B 3GHz Four Channel RF Analog Signal Generator is a versatile and compact multi-channel RF instrument engineered for demanding lab and production environments. As part of Tabor Electronics’ Lucid series, the LS3084B combines high signal integrity, ultra-fast frequency switching, and comprehensive modulation features in a modular, easy-to-use benchtop platform.
Fast Frequency Switching for Efficient Testing
With a switching speed of under 100µs, the LS3084B minimizes downtime between frequency changes, enabling faster measurement sweeps and improved throughput. This capability is critical for automated test equipment (ATE) setups, reducing test cycle time without sacrificing accuracy. Engineers can quickly perform multi-frequency sweeps or simulate real-world RF environments efficiently.
Exceptional Signal Integrity
The LS3084B delivers a typical phase noise of -138 dBc/Hz at 1 GHz (10 kHz offset), ensuring stable, clean signals across all four channels. This high signal purity supports precision applications such as local oscillator generation, intermodulation distortion testing, DAC/ADC clocking, and multi-channel phase-coherent measurements.
Comprehensive Modulation Capabilities
Designed for analog communication systems, radar, and multi-channel experiments, the LS3084B supports AM, FM, PM, Sweep, and Pulse modulation. Pulse modulation achieves a 60 dBc on/off ratio, and external baseband modulation allows customized waveform generation. Its four-phase coherent channels enable complex experiments such as phased array testing, quantum research, and synchronized signal analysis.
Flexible Control and Integration
Engineered for modern lab environments, the LS3084B utilizes SCPI and VISA protocols for seamless control via LAN or USB. Users can program the generator with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, and LabVIEW. The virtual front panel enables intuitive local or remote operation, making it suitable for both bench-top setups and field deployment.
Applications
The LS3084B excels in radar and communications testing, high-precision lab measurements, automated RF testing, and synchronized multi-channel experiments. Its combination of speed, signal fidelity, and four-channel capability makes it an ideal solution for advanced RF engineers.
