Generating an AM signal
The signal generator generates AM (amplitude modulated)
signals with the following basic settings:
Operation Example
Assume that you are going to generate an AM signal with:
• Carrier frequency of 1 GHz, amplitude of –10 dBm
• AM depth of 70 %
• AM rate at 15 kHz
• Internal AM source (default by )
Refer to the following to configure your signal generator:
1 Pressing presets the signal generator
2 Pressing
> 1 > GHz sets the CW frequency to 1 GHz
3 Pressing
> –10 > dBm sets the CW amplitude to –10 dBm
4 Pressing enters the AM submenu
5 Pressing AM Depth > 70 > % sets AM depth to 70 %
6 Pressing AM Rate > 15 > kHz sets AM rate to 15 kHz
7 Pressing AM On enables AM
8 Pressing On enables the AM signal output
For key reference, please refer to
“AM” on page 54.
