To Select Modulation Source 
 
Press Mod  Source to select “Int” or “Ext” modulation source. 
 
1.  Internal Source 
When internal source is selected, the modulating waveform is set as a Square 
with 50% duty cycle, and the frequency at which the output phase “shifts” 
between “carrier phase” and “modulating phase” is determined by “PSK Rate”. 
 
2.  External Source 
When external source is selected, the generator accepts the external modulating 
signal from the [CH1/Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK] connector at the rear panel.  
 
Note:  for  the  [CH1/Sync/Ext Mod/Trig/FSK]  connector,  controlling PSK 
modulation  externally is different from  controlling  AM/FM/PM  modulations 
externally. In PSK modulation, you can set the modulating polarity. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
To Set Modulating Rate 
 
When internal source is selected, press PSK Rate to set the frequency at which the 
output phase shifts between “carrier phase” and “hop phase”. 
  Use the numeric keyboard or direction keys and knob to input the desired 
frequency value.  
  The frequency range is from 2mHz to 1MHz and the default is 100Hz. 
Note: when external modulation source is selected, this menu will be grayed out and 
disabled.
