Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) 
 
When FSK (Frequency Shift Keying) modulation is selected, you can configure the 
generator to “shift” its output frequency between two preset frequencies (“carrier 
frequency” and “hop frequency”). 
 
To Select FSK Modulation 
 
Press Mod  Type  FSK to enable FSK function. When Mod is enabled, Sweep 
or Burst will be automatically disabled (if enabled currently). 
 
 
To Select Carrier Waveform Shape 
 
FSK carrier waveform could be Sine, Square, Ramp or Arbitrary waveform (except 
DC). The default is Sine. 
  Press the front panel key Sine, Square, Ramp or Arb (you need to press 
Select Wform in the arbitrary waveform setting interface to select the desired 
arbitrary waveform) to select the desired carrier waveform shape.  
  Pulse, Noise and DC could not be used as carrier waveform. 
 
 
To Set Carrier Waveform Parameters 
 
The different settings of various parameters (frequency, amplitude, DC offset, start 
phase and etc.) of the carrier waveform will influence the FSK modulated waveform. 
For different carrier waveform shape, the ranges of the various parameters are 
different (the ranges are related to the model of the instrument used and the carrier 
waveform currently selected. See “Specifications”  for details). For all carrier 
waveform shapes, the default values are 1kHz frequency, 5Vpp  amplitude, 0V
DC
 
offset and 0° start phase. 
 
  When the carrier waveform currently selected is Sine, Square or Ramp, please 
refer to the introduction in “To Output Basic Waveform”  to set the 
parameters of the carrier waveform currently selected.  
  When the carrier waveform currently selected is arbitrary waveform, please 
refer to the introduction in “To Output Arbitrary Waveform” to set the 
parameters of the carrier waveform currently selected.
