2. Set Meter Function to AM and slowly turn Signal Generator's MODULATION control clockwise until its panel meter
indicates 10% AM. Note voltmeter reading in dB.
3. Set generator's AM switch to OFF. The residual AM should read >58 dB below the reference noted in step 2 (i.e.,
>78 dB down). (The 10% AM, after detection, is 20 dB below the carrier level. Residual AM is then 20 dB -78 dB
= -58 dB.)
58 dB ___________________________
4. Replace the 15 kHz LPF with the 3 kHz LPF. Add the capacitor between amplifier and filter and repeat steps 1
through 3. The residual AM should read >65 dB below the reference noted in step 2 (i.e., > 85 dB down).
