Description
LS6081D RF Signal Generator
The LS6081D RF Signal Generator Module is part of Tabor Electronics’ Lucid family of modular RF signal generators, delivering a compact and versatile solution for high-performance analog signal generation. Operating up to 6GHz, the LS6081D is designed to provide exceptional signal integrity for a variety of applications, including RF design, automated test systems, radar testing, and communication system verification.
Fast Frequency Switching for Maximum Throughput
Modern RF test applications demand rapid frequency changes to maximize measurement speed. The LS6081D achieves frequency switching in less than 100µs, reducing test cycle latency and enabling faster sweeps without compromising signal stability. This fast settling time is especially beneficial in high-volume automated testing (ATE) environments.
Signal Purity and Modulation Flexibility
The LS6081D RF Signal Generator maintains a phase noise floor of -138dBc/Hz at 1GHz with a 10 kHz offset, ensuring ultra-clean and precise signal output. It supports a wide range of internal modulation schemes, including AM, FM, PM, sweep, and pulse modulation. Users can also apply external baseband signals for custom modulation, making it adaptable to complex communication and radar testing scenarios.
Compact and Modular Design
The LS6081D features a modular footprint, allowing integration in desktop, benchtop, rackmount, or portable systems. It provides a single channel by default, with options for multi-channel setups. The modularity ensures flexibility in lab and field deployment, making the unit ideal for engineers requiring a compact, cost-effective solution without compromising performance.
Easy Integration and Remote Control
Engineered for modern test environments, the LS6081D can be controlled via standard SCPI commands and VISA architecture. Whether connecting via LAN, USB, or SPI, the module integrates seamlessly with Python, MATLAB, C#/C++, LabVIEW, or other automated test setups. The included virtual front panel offers intuitive control for local or network operation.
Ideal for Demanding RF Applications
From receiver testing and multi-tone generation to phased array and quantum experiments, the LS6081D RF Signal Generator delivers the precision, speed, and flexibility needed for advanced RF testing. Its combination of fast switching, high signal fidelity, and modular form factor makes it a reliable solution for both lab and field work.
