7 Signal Generator Settings
This section summarizes the settings necessary to configure the instrument for signal
generation. The description in this section follows the menu tree structure of the graph-
ical user interface. Each of the discussed topics follows a common structure, providing
basic background information, and reference to the user interface.
For step-by-step instructions for fulfilling typical tasks, refer to Chapter 9, "Performing
Configuration Tasks", on page 147.
7.1 Operation Mode
You can operate the R&S SGS in two modes, normal mode and baseband bypass
mode. In baseband bypass mode, an external IF signal fed in at the [I] or [Q] connec-

ted.
Refer to Figure 5-9 for visualization of the signal flow.
