Product information "Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG) | Proteus Series"
Proteus Series – High-Performance Arbitrary Waveform Generator (AWG)
Up to 9 GS/s, >10 GHz Bandwidth, 16 GS Memory, up to 12 Channels
Innovation in Signal Generation
The Proteus Series from Tabor Electronics combines an arbitrary waveform generator and a transceiver in one platform.
Modular & Scalable for Every Application
Whether laboratory setups, series testing, or complex test benches – the devices of the Proteus Series adapt to your needs.
Thanks to modular systems based on PXIe, numerous options, and flexible configuration, the measuring instrument can be expanded as required – from compact single modules to large multi-channel solutions.
Via interfaces such as Ethernet or SFP modules, the system can also be easily integrated.
Three Versions for Every Application
The Proteus Series is available as a benchtop version with touch display for convenient lab operation, as a desktop version without front panel for space-saving, PC-controlled use, and as a PXIe module, ideally suited for signal processing in modular environments.
Matching accessories and application-specific software options provide maximum flexibility.
Precision & Signal Quality at the Highest Level
The Proteus Series was designed for scenarios where exact synchronization and maximum signal purity are indispensable. Its architecture ensures stable and reproducible results, even with very complex signal forms. This creates the basis for reliable measurements and meaningful test protocols.
Versatility for Research & Development
Whether in product development, laboratory use, or quality assurance – Proteus convinces through flexibility and scalability.
With powerful signal processing, large bandwidth, high memory depth, precise resolution, and modern control software, the series supports engineers and technicians in implementing innovative projects efficiently.
The devices are particularly suited for demanding applications requiring precise frequency control across the entire frequency range – from communication technology to quantum research.
