Arbitrary Function Generators - Wonder Wave Series
The Wonder Wave Series line of arbitrary waveform generators combines two technologies. While being a true, memory-based arbitrary waveform generator (AWG), with all of the memory management capabilities needed to create complex waveforms, it also implements a Direct Digital Synthesizer (DDS) enabling many standard modulation types and frequency agility capabilities. Superior and far more versatile the Wonder Wave Series exhibit performance and provide solutions to the most demanding test stimulus challenge

Pulse Pattern Generators
The Pulse Master is a Series of Single and Dual Channel Pulse/Waveform Generators that offers a complete array of pulse, standard, arbitrary, sequenced and modulated waveforms with unmatched performance, even compared to instruments designed to generate fewer types of signals.
PCI/PXI Arbitrary Waveform Generators
Tabor’s PCI/PXI Arbitrary waveform generators are designed to enable a high level of integration, allowing it to implement its unique Arbitrary waveform generation technology in this platform. Being the bench models replica for the WonderWave Arbitrary waveform generator’s series, the PXI and PCI arbitrary waveform generators 5000 series, set new standards of performance. They combine two technologies, making use of the best qualities from each of the types of generators allowing it to create complex waveforms, on one hand, and generating all the standard functions and modulation formats, on the other
Signal / Waveform Amplifiers
Signal amplifiers are used to increase the size of a signal by some factor, in a system where the signal source being used does not provide the required output level. When choosing a waveform amplifier these criteria of the signal amplifier’s performance must be taken into account: Input & Output Imped- ance, Gain, Bandwidth (BW), Slew Rate (SR), Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), and Load.
Tabor’s signal generator amplifiers are designed to operate in conjunction with all of Tabor’s arbitrary waveform generators and RF signal generator series. Combined, these waveform amplifiers deliver a high performance signal generation package, enabling high speed and high-frequency arbitrary generation capabilities with the most sophisticated signal generation, all in a single setup solution
PCI, PXI & Modular Signal Amplifiers
Low power supply rails, a main part of the PXI, cPCI and PCI equipment, are a common cause for an inability to produce high voltage output. Tabor Electronics’ new amplifiers convert the supply rails to higher voltage suitable for signals up to 40Vp-p, thus solving thit problem. The PCI & PXI Signal Amplifiers line operates in conjunction with Tabor’s arbitrary waveform generators providing the ultimate solution for PXI and PCI, high-voltage, wideband applications. Tabor Electronics’s amplifiers produce high voltages by converting the supply rails to voltage suitable for signals up to 180Vp-p
Modular RF Signal Amplifiers
These combined with Tabor’s RF AWG’s or Lucid Signal Generators can provide outrput power of up to 28dBm with a very small footprint, these ultra wideband (20GHz) amplifiers are designed for high frequen- cy, high power signal amplifications They are an ideal amplifier to to compliment any signal source that needs an extended power boost for demanding application. The A10200 RF amplifier was designed to extend the power range of the Tabor arbitrary waveform genera- tors and RF signal generators, yet it is compatible with many signal sources instruments
PXIe Chassis
The PXE6410 is a PXIe based 6 based slot Gen 3 x4 chassis, that supports the Tabor Proteus Family of AWG’s and the TE330x family of PXIe RF amplifi- ers. The system includes an embedded PC with an internal SSD drive, HDMI connection, USB interfaces for a mouse and keyboard, as well as control using USB-C and 1000BASE-T LAN.
