8 Modulation
HDG3000B supports AM, DSB-AM, FM, PM, 2ASK, 2FSK, 2PSK, BPSK, QPSK, 3FSK,
4FSK, OSK and PWM modulations. It can output modulated waveform from a single
channel or from two channels at the same time. The modulated waveform consists of
carrier waveform and modulating waveform. The carrier waveform can be Sine, Square,
Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary waveform (except DC) or Harmonic. The modulating waveform
can be from internal (default), other channel, or external modulation source.
8.1 AM Modulation
A modulated waveform consists of a carrier waveform and a modulating waveform. In
AM, the carrier amplitude is varied by the voltage level of the modulating waveform.
8.1.1 Select AM Modulation
Press [Mod] > Type > AM softkey to enable AM function.
⚫ When Mod is enabled, Sweep or Burst will be disabled automatically.
⚫ After AM is enabled, the instrument will generate AM waveform with the currently
specified carrier and modulating waveforms. To avoid multiple waveform changes,
enable modulation after configuring the other modulation parameters.
8.1.2 Carrier Waveform Shape
AM carrier shape: Sine (default), Square, Ramp, Pulse, Arbitrary (except DC) or
Harmonic waveform.
⚫ Press [Wave] button on the front panel to select the desired carrier waveform
shape.
⚫ Noise and DC could not be used as carrier waveform.
8.1.3 Carrier Waveform Frequency
For different carrier waveforms, the settable range of carrier frequency is different.
Please refer to "Frequency Characteristics" in Specifications. The default value is 1kHz.
Press [Setting] > Frequency softkey on the front panel, and then use the numeric
keypad or direction keys and knob to input the desired frequency value.
8.1.4 Modulation Source
Press [Mod] > SignalSrc softkey to select internal, external or another ch as the
