Configuring the RF Output
This section will show you how to create continuous wave and swept RF outputs.
Configuring a Continuous Wave RF Output
Using these procedures, you will learn how to set the following parameters:
• RF output frequency
• frequency reference and frequency offset
• RF output amplitude
• amplitude reference and amplitude offset
Setting the RF Output Frequency
1. Press
Preset.
This returns the signal generator to the factory-defined instrument state.
NOTE You can change the preset conditions to a user-defined instrument state.
However, for the purpose of these examples, use the factory-defined preset state
(the Preset Normal User softkey in the Utility menu must be set to Normal).
2. Observe the FREQUENCY area of the display (in the upper left-hand corner).
The value displayed is the maximum specified frequency of your signal generator.
3. Press
RF On/Off.
The
RF On/Off hardkey must be pressed before the RF signal is available at the
RF OUTPUT connector. The display annunciator changes from RF OFF to RF ON. The
maximum specified frequency is now being output at the RF OUTPUT connector (at the
signal generator’s minimum power level).
4. Press
Frequency > 700 > MHz.
The new 700 MHz RF frequency is now displayed in the FREQUENCY area of the display and
also in the active entry area.
