Direct addressing of channel
A
Up to 16 phase-frequency-
amplitude states of channel
A
may be preset and directly
addressed with four TTL-compatible inputs. Timing for fast
hopping must be provided by an EXTERNAL source.
Digital modulation:
By
appropriately setting the 16 direct
control registers, the HP 8904A may be used as a digital
modulator. Examples of signals which can be generated
with this technique include FSK or multilevel
FM
(up to 16
levels), BPSK, QPSK, and QAM.

OPTION
006
SPECIFICATIONS
(Sine wave only)
All specifications for the standard 50Q HP 8904A are degraded
by the accuracy, flatness, and distortion specifications of the
Option 006, 600Q transformer coupled output. Because the
transformer output was designed for passing sinewaves only,
all specifications apply to that waveform. The Option 006
output will not pass digital sequences available with Option
001. In addition, phase accuracy is degraded and therefore not
specified for Option 006.
Output type: fully floating/balanced transformer coupled output.

200
kHz.
