The desktop version of the Proteus RF AWG series offers up to 12 channels in a 4U, half 19” dedicated chassis. The Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Generator desktop platform offers an embedded PC with PCIe Gen3 x4 lanes interface as well as the fastest standardized communication interfaces commonly available in PCs today. These include USB3.0 and 10GE interfaces as well as, a thunderbolt 3 interface which enables up to 40Gb/s of data transfer speed. These enable you to easily connect to the Proteus arbitrary waveform transceiver and still offer some of the fastest waveform download available on the market today.
The optional digitizer and programmable FPGA has user definable processing blocks, such as digital up and down conversion, Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Filters, high speed averaging and other mathematical functions to create real-time closed loop processing blocks. This high speed control system provides a feedback loop that enables you to make fast decisions with minimum latency.
For applications in quantum physics, aerospace, or communications the Proteus arbitrary waveform generator is a valuable tool, providing a synchronized, phase coherent output in a space efficient and cost effective PXI module.
The Tabor RF Proteus has 9GS/s sample rate with 16 bits of vertical resolution. The RF units have digitally implemented IQ Modulators and LO’s provided by Numerically Controlled Oscillator (NCO) technology. By using multiple Nyquist zones signals can be created through X-Band.
