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
