Modes of Operation
Modes of Operation
The instrument source provides two basic modes of operation: continuous
wave (CW) and digital modulation mode.
Continuous Wave
In this mode, the transceiver produces a CW signal. The transceiver is set to a
single frequency and power level, which is set up using the RF Source tab
menu. To learn more, refer to Chapter 2, Basic Operation.
Digital Modulation
In this mode, an internal baseband generator in the transceiver modulates a
CW signal with an arbitrary I/Q waveform (ARB). The ARB waveforms are
downloaded through a remote interface into the ARB memory. The ARB
waveform setup is accessed using the RF Source tab, followed by the
Modulation Setup key. To learn more, refer to Chapter 4, Basic Digital
Operation.
