The PXIe module of the Proteus Arbitrary Waveform Transceiver (AWT) is based on the PXI Express industry standard. This platform enables up to 4 direct to RF generator output channels and 2 direct to RF digitizer input channels and occupies only 3 PXIe slots - Allowing scaling to 100's of channels.
Utilizing PCI express Gen 3x8 lanes connection, the Proteus PXIe platform enables up to 64Gb/s of data transfer speed saving you valuable time. Additionally, the Proteus Arbitrary waveform transceiver has real time data streaming directly to the FPGA for continuous and infinite waveform generation.
The built-in 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 Proteus AWT can be used as a baseband generator, IQ generator or direct to RF Generator with variable sample rates up to a maximum of 1.25GS/s, 2.5GS/s and 9GS/s. 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.
