The Proteus Arbitrary waveform generator Module is Based on PXI Express industry-standard modular architecture and can easily scale to hundreds of channels while keeping the required space to a minimum. Its compact size enables up to 4 generator output channels in two PXIe slots and adding the optional 2 channel digitizer only 3 PXI slots.
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 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.
When used in conjunction with the optional digitizer the 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.
