Description

P9488B RF AWG

The Tabor P9488B RF AWG is engineered for high-demand applications that require speed, precision, and adaptability. Its 9GS/s sampling rate combined with 16-bit resolution ensures extremely accurate and high-fidelity waveform generation, making it ideal for Electronic Warfare simulation, quantum research, and next-generation wireless communication testing. With 8 independent channels and 16 markers, it enables multi-channel synchronized experiments and complex scenario creation.

Modular and Scalable Benchtop Design

Built on PXI Express architecture, the P9488B is both compact and modular, supporting scalable setups from 2 channels to hundreds without sacrificing phase coherence. This design is perfect for synchronized waveform generation in research, aerospace, defense, and high-performance lab environments.

Real-Time Feedback Control

The P9488B integrates its DAC and ADC into a single FPGA-controlled unit, eliminating latency associated with PC-based processing. This allows conditional waveform generation, meaning the system adapts its output instantly in response to incoming signals. This capability is critical for closed-loop Electronic Warfare, Radar Target Simulation, and Qbit control.

Task-Oriented Non-Linear Waveform Sequencing

Featuring task table sequencing, the P9488B can intelligently respond to real-time inputs, jumping between waveform segments for logic-based, low-latency responses. Users can generate complex, infinitely long, or dynamic waveforms streamed directly from the controlling PC, bypassing traditional memory limitations.
