15 Waveform generator (Option R&S RTE-B6)
The R&S RTE includes an integrated waveform generator which can generate input
signals and patterns during testing. You can setup and output two waveform genera-
tors and a pattern generator.
With each of the waveform generators, one can output simple functions, modulated
sine waveform, arbitrary waveforms and sweep waveforms. It is possible to couple and
synchronize the settings of the waveform generators and enable them on a trigger sig-
nal.
The instrument preset does not affect the generator settings. Each generator has its
own preset.
Always use double-shielded cables to prevent electromagentic interference (EMI) from
impairing measurement results.
15.1 Setup of the waveform generator
Access: [Gen 1]/[Gen 2] > "Setup" tab
The "Setup" tab is divided into several sections:
●
General settings like enabling and presetting the waveform generator
●
Signal settings, depending on the selected Operation mode refer to one of the fol-
lowing:
– Chapter 15.1.2, "Function generator", on page 926
– Chapter 15.1.3, "Modulation", on page 930
– Chapter 15.1.4, "Sweep", on page 936
– Chapter 15.1.5, "Arbitrary", on page 937
●
"Output", including settings for defining the output see Chapter 15.1.6, "Output",
on page 941
●
"Noise", settings for adding noise to the waveform, see Chapter 15.1.7, "Noise",
on page 942
