Generating a CW Signal
Generating a CW (Continuous Wave) signal requires you to
set up the frequency and amplitude parameters and enable
the RF output. The parameters has the following characters:
Operation Example
Assume you need to generate a CW signal with:
• a frequency of 700 MHz
• an amplitude of –20 dBm
Please refer to the following steps to set up the CW signal:
1 Press
hardkey
This returns the signal generator to the factory default state.
To view the default settings of the signal generator, please
check “Factory Default Settings” on page 70
Observe the FREQUENCY and AMPLITUDE area of the display
(in the upper left- hand corner). The value displayed is the
maximum frequency (3 GHz) and the minimum amplitude
(–127 dBm)
.
2 Press > 700 > MHz sets the CW frequency to 700 MHz.
3 Press > – 20 > dBm sets the CW amplitude to –20 dBm.
4 Toggle hardkey to enable the RF output.
